MUNCIE, Ind. – The Butler women's soccer team finished a three-game road trip at Ball State and came away with a 2-2 draw.

The Bulldogs (2-2-1) netted two goals in 89 seconds to level the score with 10 minutes on the clock.
Key Moments

- 14' | Léa Larouche sends a cross from the left side that finds Norah Jacomen sprinting up the middle. Jacomen is one-on-one with the keeper, but the save is made.
- 35' | The Ball State defensive line sends a long service forward. Chester has broken through again and gives the Cardinals a two-goal lead.
HALFTIME
- 58' | Alyssa Carlson sends a ball from the right side into the penalty area. Larouche meets it at the spot and gets a shot on goal, but the save is made.
- 79' | Chloe Brecht takes a deflection off a defender and slots it forward, between two defenders, to Jacomen. Jacomen strikes from 18 and puts the ball just inside the far post. The Dawgs are within one, at 2-1.
- 80' | After a Ball State shot, the ball is cleared out of the box to Talia Sommer. Sommer runs the length of the field, unchallenged, and launches at the top of the arc. The shot slides just under the crossbar, and the score is level at two.
