The Cal State Fullerton Titans women's soccer team drew 1-1 in their final nonconference match of the season against University of Nevada Las Vegas on Thursday evening in Titan Stadium.
The Titans (2-4-3) continued their 5-game unbeaten streak and received their 3rd draw of the season.With an early goal by the Lady Rebels, the Titans had to make a comeback from being down early in the game
The Titans came out playing strong on both defense and offense but within the 4th minute the Lady Rebels took advantage of a Titan miscue and landed the ball in the back of the net by Mallie Ramirez.
Cal State Fullerton didn't let playing from behind rattle them, as they were continuously knocking on the Rebel's Defense door.
In the 34th minute sophomore Kaitlin Taylor tied up the game. A long ball taken by Fullerton landed in the cleats of Taylor and she ended up in a two-on-one situation and out maneuvered both defenders and took her chance against the goalie, and ended up with an open net. Taylor scored her second goal of the season and second goal of her Titan career.
