The Citrus College women’s soccer team had to settle for a 2-2 draw against the Antelope Valley College Marauders at Citrus Stadium on Oct. 20 at Citrus Stadium.
The Owls got the scoring started in the ninth minute with sophomore Devyn Bagwell’s fifth goal of the season. The first half ended 1-0 for Citrus.

“I think she’ll be fine,” Tracey said. “She just took a donk, and just like a Charlie horse, like everyone has had in their life, she’ll bounce back with treatments and hopefully she’ll be ready to go Tuesday.”
In the 52nd and 53rd minutes, Antelope Valley freshman Lindsey McDermott scored back-to back goals to help the Marauders take a quick 2-1 lead in the second half.
In the 79th minute, the Owls were able to equalize on a breakaway goal from Devyn Bagwell. This was her sixth goal of the season.
