CYPRESS, CA – The Cypress College women's soccer team (6-4-2, 5-1-2 OEC) finished Tuesday's anticipated match-up against district rival Fullerton College (7-2-3, 4-1-3 OEC) in a 2-2 tie at home. The result keeps Cypress slotted in second place in the highly touted Orange Empire Conference.

Chargers' Kristin Avila quickly answered with an equalizer on a pass from Meagan Smith (58:49). Mary Dynda put in the go-ahead goal for Cypress, bending a free kick over the outstretched arms of Hornets keeper Savannah Dyer (61:51).
The Hornets responded with a late header from Tatsiana Loscutoff on the Alyssa Madrigal corner kick (87:14) to spoil the Chargers victory and tie the game 2-2.
