ATHENS, Tx. -  LSU Eunice Women's Soccer showed fight in a hard earned 3-3 draw at No. 14 Trinity Valley CC on Friday night.  The Bengals (3-0-2) rallied from a deficit to start both halves before a late goal from Emily Poste (Copperas Cove, TX, Copperas Cove HS) helped LSUE draw even and record the tie.
 
The Bengals found themselves in a quick 2-0 hole after Trinity Valley CC converted on a set piece and a deflection from an LSUE defender.  The Bengals would rally right back, using an Anllely Fuentes Acosta (Ocaña-Norte de Santander, Colombia, Francisco Fernandez de Contreras) penalty kick and a TVCC own goal off a poor clearance to knot the game up 2-2 at the halftime break.
 
TVCC scored right out of the locker room on a free ball in the box off a corner kick to regain the lead.  Poste and the Bengals answered in the 72nd minute as the sophomore lasered a 20-yard bomb to the back post.  LSUE would nearly put in the go-ahead goal on a bouncing back in front of net but could not convert.
 
Catherine Beckman (Walker, LA, Walker HS) faired well against a steady Cardinals offense, grabbing eight saves.  LSUE would put 12 shots on frame including a team-high four by Madison Paujaud (Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, High Mowing Waldorf School).
 
The Bengals turn around and face another nationally ranked team, heading to number 5 Navarro College on Sunday.
