For 90 minutes, the University of La Verne women's soccer team battled
the University of Redlands to a 4-4 end-of-regulation tie on the heated
Ben Hines Field Saturday.
And after 30 minutes of sudden death overtime, the Leopards were left
with a Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) tie.
Freshman midfielder Erica Borbon scored the Leopards' game-tying goal
in the 83rd minute on a pass from sophomore forward Rachel Lieberman on
a free kick, as La Verne improved to 7-5-1 overall on the season and 5-2-1
in SCIAC.
Trailing 2-1 in the first half, the Leopards were putting pressure on
the Bulldogs' defense. La Verne finally found a crack in the Redlands back
field when, with nine seconds to play before the half, sophomore midfielder
Katie Zwissler, on a pass from senior defender Alicia Raygoza, scored ULV's
second goal.
The 2-2 tie lasted until Redlands forward Cristina Romero put home a
rebound off La Verne freshman goalie Kim Schrepfer with 39 minutes to play.
Fourteen minutes later, La Verne answered back on freshman middle fielder
Tonia Noujaim's scoring strike with the assist going to freshman midfielder
Heather Cooper.
The Leopards had a chance to take the lead with 16 minutes left, but
Lieberman kicked wide left on an open goal. Two minutes later, Redlands
forward Aurora Romans headed a shot over Schrepfer for a 4-3 Bulldogs lead.
On Wednesday, ULV fell to Cal Lutheran 2-0, and La Verne's record took
a plunge to 7-6-1 overall and 5-3-1 in SCIAC.
The Regals took a 2-0 lead before the half, and the Leopards were unable
to get back into the game.
ULV plays at Pomona-Pitzer tomorrow at 11 a.m.
