Bearcat soccer rallies to tie Washburn Sunday in Topeka

Northwest2013riggertThe Northwest Missouri State soccer team rallied from a first half deficit to tie Washburn, 1-1 at Yager Stadium in Topeka

The Bearcats are now 2-6-3 this season and 1-4-1 in the MIAA, while the Ichabods move to 3-6-3 overall and 2-3-1 against conference opponents.

Senior Anna Holden scored her third goal of the year and 11th all-time, moving her into a tie for sixth in career goals at Northwest.

Holden led the way for the Bearcat offense, taking six shots and putting three on frame.

Elizabeth Lee made eight saves in the match, including several diving stops. The senior lunged to her left to make a critical stop in overtime to keep the score level.

The Ichabods opened the scoring in the 20th minute after they converted on a penalty kick.  Then in the 56th minute, Katelynn Lindsey stepped up to strike a free kick into the box from near midfield. The keeper tried to punch it away, but the ball stayed inside the six yard box where Holden was there to send it across the line to level the score.

Northwest Missouri State will return home to play Fort Hays State on Friday. The match is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. from Bearcat Pitch.
