Edmonton, Alta. – The University of Victoria women's soccer team came away from its match at the University of Alberta with a point after a late goal by the Pandas resulted in a 1-1 tie, Sept. 16 at Foote Field.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Nearly opening the scoring in the first 30 seconds of play, a shot by Taiya Scorey from inside the box bounced off the post, preventing the Vikes from taking the lead.
• Scorey found redemption in the 36th minute, receiving a long pass from Ruby Nicholas. Using one touch to control possession, Scorey sent a high-arching shot over the Pandas keeper to give Victoria a 1-0 lead.
• Nicholas nearly netted a goal of her own in the 80th minute, finding herself one-on-one with the Alberta goalkeeper. However, her shot ended up just right of the net and the game remained at 1-0 in favour of UVic.
• The Pandas equalized in the 82nd minute on a corner kick, bringing the final score to 1-1.
