MEN'S SOCCER: TIED UP

The Hornets knocked Santa Ana College out of first place in the Orange Empire Conference with a 3-3 tie on the road Tuesday.

With Santa Ana drawing first blood scoring first, the Hornets reciprocated less than three minutes later with the equalizing goal on a Jose Montes De Oca on a penalty kick.

The Dons would then be awarded a penalty kick of their own in the 23rd minute, which they converted to put the Dons back on top, 2-1.

Fullerton would once again find the tying goal, this time in the 37th minute when Brian Jaquez controlled a ball in the box that the Dons defense failed to clear. Jaquez then made a quick pass to Andres Muniz, who scored from the front of the goal. The Hornets would score the go-ahead goal in the 85th minute when Manuel Juarez slipped a pass through the Dons defense to Montes De Oca who scored on the far post.

With the clock already at 90 minutes, Leonardo Contreras sent a long pass over the top of Fullerton's defense to a streaking Luis Venegas who buried a shot from the top of the box, tying the match at 3-3. Fullerton would manage a corner kick before the final whistle, but neither team generated another offensive chance, ending the game in a tie.

FC had beaten Santa Ana 4-2 in their previous game on October 11th.

Up Next:  The Hornets (9-6-3 overall, 4-4-3 conference) will travel down the 91 Freeway to Cypress College this Friday, November 8th.  Game time is at 3:00 pm.
