Pinheiro Alves netted the first brace of her career and singlehandedly helped New Haven pick up a point in a 2-2 draw with LIU on Sunday. The Porto product scored the match's opener in the 10th minute to give the Chargers an early edge. New Haven would eventually fall behind 2-1, but Alves struck again in the 74th minute to draw them level once again. She has scored three goals on the year and has been a valuable member of a Chargers attack that has scored 14 goals this season, five more than they scored in all of 2025. Alves will look to continue to aid a New Haven side that has taken a significant step forward this season.
