The women’s soccer teams from Westmont and UCSB played to a 1-1 draw in an exhibition match on Tuesday night at Harder Stadium.
The Gauchos immediately took a 1-0 lead on a strike from junior Madison Beckley in the second minute. The Warriors drew even half-way through the first half on Courtney Stonesifer’s corner kick.
Westmont, who debuted at No. 18 in the NAIA Women’s Soccer rankings that were released earlier on Tuesday, play again in 10 days against Concordia of Oregon.
The Gauchos play another exhibition at SBCC on Wednesday before their season opener arrives on Friday in a match with Fresno State at Harder.
