Ripon 2, Hilmar 2

The shorthanded Indians (1-0-1, 10-4-1 overall) were able to salvage a tie in the Trans Valley League match that could have title implications down the road.

Ripon was without two of its top scorers, Mia Hendryx and Danielle Rey, who were out with ankle injuries. Still, the Indians managed to take two leads in the first half, only for visiting Hilmar (1-0-1, 8-3-2) to answer both.

Alena Mallari netted the opener in the 14th minute with Madelyn McKiernan on the assist. Alexis Zamora scored in the 28th and was set up by Sofia Cabello. The Yellowjackets scored in the 20th and 38th minutes, the latter on a penalty kick.

In the second half, Ripon, which started the game with just one available substitute, lost defenders Taylor Paris and Clara Schoolland to injuries, leaving it with 10 players on the field for a spell. The Indians still had a big advantage on shot attempts, 17-6.
