A Draw for Mustangs on Road vs Western NE

On Friday in Scottsbluff NE the Lady Cougars of Western NE played host to the visiting Mustangs of Western Wyo.

In a crazy and high scoring match the Mustangs struck first with goals from Alyssia Lee in the 9th and 14th minutes.  The first Lee goal was a header assisted by MKenzie Safford.  The second goal was a great high shot by Lee was assisted by Clarissa Barton.  The early WWCC lead was erased by two WNCC goals in the 25th and 35th minutes. There was 1 player from the WNCC team that the Mustangs had trouble controlling.  The halftime score was 2 to 2.


In the second half the Mustangs took back the lead in the 58th minute with a Madisyn Cantrell goal with an Alyssia Lee assist.  The Mustang lead only lasted about 9 minutes as WNCC answered in the 67th minute to tie the match again.  The back and for affair would not result in another goal. After 90 minutes the score was 3 to 3.

The teams played two overtime periods but neither team had enough gas to score.  So, after 110 minutes the match resulted in a 3 to 3 draw.  The draw currently keeps the Mustangs in 5th place in the Region just a point out of hosting a playoff match.  The 2016 records are now 6 - 9 - 2 and 4 - 5 - 2 in Region IX play.

Mustang Valuable Player:  Alyssia Lee for her brace (2 goals) and assist that set the tone for a wild offensive match in Scottsbluff.
