Umpqua Soccer: Riverhawks earn a point with 1-1 draw against No. 7 Lane

SUTHERLIN — The Umpqua Riverhawks women’s soccer team earned a much needed point in the standings with a 1-1 draw against South Region leader and No. 7-ranked Lane on Wednesday at Sutherlin High School.

Clara Kercher got the Riverhawks on the board with a goal in the 49th minute on an assist by Mya Stone. That tied the game after Lane (8-0-4, 6-0-3 South Region) started the scoring with an unassisted goal by Savanna Hoffen in the 33rd minute.

The draw keeps Umpqua (5-4-2, 5-2-2 South Region) in third place in the South Region standings, one point ahead of fourth place Portland.

Up next, the UCC women’s soccer team will visit Portland at noon on Friday.
