Amanda White's goal in stoppage time helped the UBC Okanagan Heat women's soccer team earn a point in their match against the Regina Cougars, drawing 2-2 on Saturday afternoon at Nonis Sports Field.
In the dying moments of the match, Vernon's Molly Race and Yvonne Manwaring of Kamloops, B.C. teamed up off a restart in play to find White (Ottawa) as she tied the game up at two in added time. Her 92nd minute score positioned her squad to collect their fourth point in four games in 2022.
Nicole Klassen (Saskatoon) opened the scoring for the Cougars in the 18th minute, while Peyton Enns (Winnipeg) also found the back of the net for Regina.
A lovely strike from Abigail Taneda of West Kelowna, B.C., tied the match at one in the 22nd minute. It was her first goal in a Heat uniform and her team-high third point of the year.
