Braves Rally to a 2-2 Draw on the Road Against Bethel

NORTH NEWTON, Kan. – It was a tale of two halves on Wednesday evening, as the Ottawa University women's soccer team fought back to a 2-2 draw on the road against the Bethel Threshers.

Bethel scored two goals in quick succession to draw first blood, scoring the game's opening goal in the 27th minute and following with another in the 30th minute. It could have been more, but Braves' keeper Willow Good made three saves in the first half to keep OU from going behind any further. The Threshers outshot OU 8-3 in the first half, with the Braves unable to find any offense. OU's best chance in the first half came from Jessenia Velez in the 13th minute, forcing the only save of the half from Threshers' keeper Victoria Esquivel.

Down 2-0 to begin the second half, Ottawa got the exactly the start they needed when Reighna Werner scored to cut the Braves' deficit in half. Werner scored on a 30-yard rocket from outside the box for her first goal of the season.  The Braves continued to push for the equalizer, finally coming in the 67th minute from Carolina Jennerwein. Jennerwein's goal started from combination play between Isabelle Conte and Ivett Acevedo, with Acevedo whipping a cross into the box. The ball bounced around between a few players before fell to Jennerwein, burying the ball into the back of the net to tie the game at 2-2.

Up Next: Braves return to AdventHealth Field on Saturday, hosting the Friends Falcons at 1 p.m.
