The Long Beach State women’s soccer team let their second Big West Conference victory slip away in the second half as the 49ers tied host Idaho State, 2-2, in double overtime.
 
The Beach (3-6-3, 1-0-1) scored two first half goals and were in control of the game until late in the second half when the Vandals (2-6-3, 0-1-1) rallied with two goals in the final 12 minutes of regulation.
 
LBSU took the initial lead at the 7:54 mark when freshman defender Natalie Messina took a pass from freshman forward Mackenzie Blechel and scored from deep on the right side of the field.
 
Junior defender/midfielder Lauren Doffing gave the 49ers a 2-0 lead at the 29:40 mark when she scored from two yards out.
 
LBSU shut out the Vandals until Laura Humphreys took a rebound from 49ers goalie Hannah Cochrun and scored at the 78:22 mark.
 
Minutes later, Idaho tied the game when Adriane Kehl scored at the 81:34 mark.
 
The Beach had an opportunity to regain the lead with 10 seconds remaining in regulation but couldn’t capitalize. Blechel had an open path to the goal, but her shot sailed wide.
