    Jessica Spitzer scored her first goal of the season, but a late goal from UL Lafayette earned the Northwestern State soccer team a 11 draw Sunday evening at the Demon Soccer Complex.

    “I think that’s a fair result,” head coach Ian Brophy said. “I thought it was a pretty even match, back-andforth. We took advantage of our set piece and got in front. I would have liked to see us close out the game, but (UL Lafayette) had a great goal to tie it up in the last couple minutes.

    “That is the hard part, when you’re a couple minutes away, you want to see it out, and we were close to doing that. We have to look at the things we can improve upon in how we end games, but I am overall happy with the performance.”
