LAKEWOOD, Colo. – The Westminster women's soccer team earned a point in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference standings with a 1-1 draw at Colorado Christian on Sunday afternoon.
Â
Westminster (6-2-3, 3-1-3) fell behind early in the second half as Mariah Fredericks collected a rebound in the box following a corner kick to notch her third goal of the season in the 50th minute for Colorado Christian (5-6-1, 2-4-1).
Â
That lead lasted into the 65th minute when
Madison Roemer scored her eighth goal of the season. Roemer, the RMAC's leading goal scorer, took a shot from the top of the penalty area and sent the ball inside the left post for the equalizer.
