FULLERTON, Calif. - The Cal State Fullerton Titans women's soccer team drew with Southern Utah 1-1 at home on Thursday night at Titan Stadium.

The Titans finally found the equalizer and scored on their sixth corner kick of the game after Graci Raymond's cross found Kaylin Raibon's head for the equalizer.
The Titans continued on the attacking foot and in the 59th minute, Vanessa Buso had a shot that was inches away from being the game winner but it sailed just left of the post.
The Titans would finish the game outshooting the Thunderbirds 17-to-8 and with an 8-to-2 corner kick advantage.
