The community college soccer season started on a down note for Southwest as they went 0-1-1 against visiting Northwest Friday afternoon. The Lady Bears fell 3-1, despite the outstanding efforts of freshman goalkeeper Haley Allen, while Northwest scored a goal extremely late in the contest to end the men's game in a 3-3 tie.
 
Southwest returns to action Tuesday when they host East Central in another non-conference affair. Game times are set for 3:00 for the ladies and 5:00 for the men.
 
The Lady Bears looked good early in the initial contest, taking a 1-0 lead on an unassisted goal by Nicole Daigle from 35 yards out. Northwest then sent the teams into a 1-1 halftime tie when Alex Young scored off an assist from Yanira Cura at 43:46.
 
An unassisted goal by Holly Newman put the Lady Rangers on top 2-1 at 50:50 before Young ended the scoring with her second goal at 61:12. Bree Francis provided the assist.
 
Allen had 15 assists in 18 chances for the Lady Bears, tying her for third most saves in the history of the Southwest women's soccer program.
