In the 27th minute, the Violets nearly broke the seal, with a give-and-go capped off by a close shot by Tahsildaroglu, but Lupica-Tondo made a leaping save.
 
A few minutes later, Collin Canning fired one in off the crossbar, while a follow-up attempt setup by Avi Lamba's cross was called off due to a foul.
 
Ben Trask and the Violets got one shot off before the end of the first half, before Nathan Bennett's 47th-minute shot curled from the right wing toward the far post, but another Lupica-Tondo save kept the two sides level.
 
The 'Jackets and Violets would remain scoreless till the 81st minute when Elijose Araujo knocked in a score off Kol Bassuk's assist in the scramble following a Rochester corner, giving UR a 1-0 lead.
 
But just minutes later, Tahsildaroglu evened the score at one-all, curling one in directly off a corner kick to tie the score at one.
 
And while the Yellowjackets tallied three shots in the waning moments, Mancuso and the NYU defense kept Rochester off the scoreboard to finish off the 1-1 draw.
