FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State earned their third draw of the season after their match against Oregon State ended in a 1-1 tie at Bulldog Soccer Stadium on Saturday.
HOW IT HAPPENED

The Bulldogs last scoring chance came with under two minutes left in the match when Kaya Scott accelerated down the left side, landing a shot on goal that was saved by the goalie.
