LADY BULLDOG SOCCER
The Lady Bulldog soccer team (6-2-2) battled their way to a 2-2 tie Saturday afternoon against fellow Class 4A squad Santa Teresa at The Mack.
The Artesia girls fell into a 2-0 hole in the first half before battling back to even the score. They made it 2-1 when Abigail Jowers cut off a Lady Desert Warrior goal kick and passed to Casey Dickson, who maneuvered around one defender before booting the ball into the net. Dickson also tied the game not long after, getting behind the defense once again.
The teams then battled through two scoreless sessions of overtime en route to the 2-2 tie. The Lady 'Dogs had tied with 5A Clovis on Tuesday, 1-1.
