JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - After a flurry of goals in the first half, the Lincoln women's soccer team and Southwest Baptist held each other scoreless over the final 45 minutes in a 2-2 draw on Friday night (Sept. 19).

In the 28th minute, Lincoln (0-1-2, 0-1-1 GLVC) answered when Ivanna Faria took the ball off a deflection from a defender and sent it past the Southwest Baptist (2-3-1, 0-1-1 GLVC) keeper.
