LONGVIEW, Wash. – Clark College women's soccer showed grit and resilience Wednesday afternoon, storming back from two separate deficits to secure a 3-3 draw against Lower Columbia at North Lake Field.

The Red Devils extended their lead to 3-1 midway through the second half, but Clark refused to fold. Freshman Nora Herinckx provided a spark in the 79th minute, scoring off a feed from Lainey Haden to pull the Penguins back within one. Just five minutes later, Bella Rodriguez delivered the equalizer, leveling the match at 3-3 in the 84th minute.
