After falling behind 2-0 in the first 18 minutes of play, Westmont Women's Soccer (1-1-1) battled back to a 2-2 tie with Southern Nazarene (0-1-1) on Saturday at Santa Barbara City College's La Playa Stadium. Despite out shooting the Crimson Storm 23-8, including 5-0 in the two overtime periods, the Warriors could not find another goal to secure a victory.

Southern Nazarene scored both of their goals in a span of one minute and thirty-three seconds. The first goal, scored by Bruna Da Cas, came as the result of a deflection off of a free kick by Rachel Eguren. The second was made by Beatriz Silva from 10 yards out, assisted by Jackie Acevedo.

The Warriors pulled within one when forward Aolani Rueff scored off a cross from senior Jessica Zuehlsdorf. With a little more than five minutes to play in regulation, Rueff added another goal, her fourth of the week. Junior Candace Marques directed a free kick toward the goal that bounced away from the keeper. Sophomore Melanie Greene collected the ball from the right side of the net and passed it to Rueff who scored from two yards out to tie the game.

The Warriors return to action on Saturday, September 12 when they will travel to CSU San Marcos to participate in a men's and women's soccer doubleheader. The women will kick off at one o'clock with the men to follow at three.
