SANTA ANA - After controlling the majority of the action, the Dons needed a late goal to escape their latest Orange Empire Conference match with a 1-1 tie against Norco College.
The Mustangs (1-4-1, 0-1-1) grabbed a 1-0 lead in the 58th minute when Haidee Duran sent a long pass over the top of the Dons defense that found Carli Balderrama who then dribbled the ball past the remaining defenders to score the game's first goal.
The Dons (2-4-1, 0-1-1), who had several scoring opportunities throughout the game but were unable to find the back of the net, finally got a shot through in the 84th minute when Brittany Guerra slipped a pass through the defense to Kristina Alatorre, who carried the ball over the goal line for the equalizing goal.
In goal, Katie Delgado faced just one shot which resulted in the goal as the Mustangs managed just three shots for the game. Her counterpart, Silvia Beas, made four saves to help the Mustangs to the tie.
