Simpson Plays Menlo to 1-1 Tie

Game played under the lights at Caldwell Park

- Redding, CA (9/13/2003)

Escaping the heat of the day, the Vanguards and the visiting Oaks of Menlo College played to a 1-1 tie Saturday evening in a non-conference game. 

The host Vanguards (0-3-1) struck first when Kara Rice (Fr., Chester, CA) scored in the first half.  Rice's goal would hold up as Simpson went in at halftime up 1-0.  However, Menlo would answer with a goal of their own in the second period.  Neither team would score in the overtime and the game would end a 1-1 tie.  Vanguard goalkeeper Rebekah Lopez (Jr., Ukiah, CA.) had 10 saves on the evening. 

The Vanguards will return to action Wednesday as they face Shasta College in a 4pm game to be played at Shasta College.
