LSU ties Georgia in soccer

ATHENS, Ga. — LSU sophomore Alex Arlitt and freshman Colby Maffei each scored in the second half as the Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs played to a 2-2 draw in 110 minutes Sunday afternoon at the Turner Soccer Complex.

The Tigers (5-4-4, 1-3-2 Southeastern Conference) scored their first league win of the season with a 1-0 shutout of Mississippi State in Starkville on Friday night.

“To come away with four points on our first SEC road weekend is satisfying,” LSU coach Brian Lee said. “We’ve now got to get back to Baton Rouge and defend our home field better than what we have to this point in the season.”

LSU junior goalkeeper Megan Kinneman had a career-high 15 saves.

The sides played to a scoreless tie in the first half.

Arlitt scored the breakthrough in the 57th minute of play following an attack by Maffei down the left flank. After beating a Georgia defender to the end line, Maffei cut back to the 6-yard box and found Arlitt in the middle for an open strike from 8 yards.

Junior midfielder Nicole Locandro scored her first and second goals of the season within two minutes to give Georgia (5-6-2, 1-3-2) a 2-1 lead with just under 10 minutes to play.

Maffei scored the equalizer in the 84th minute, rebounding a shot by freshman Victoria Sample that struck off the crossbar.

The Tigers will return home to host to 19th-ranked Florida at 6:30 p.m. Friday and Vanderbilt at 1 p.m. Sunday.
