POPLARVILLE – Facing a two-goal deficit midway through the first half, Jones fought back to earn a 2-2 double overtime draw at rival Pearl River Tuesday night.

In a battle between two unbeaten teams, both stayed unbeaten on the year. Jones moved to 4-0-1 and PRCC 6-0-1.

Trailing 2-0 in the 60th minute, a hand ball in the box drew a penalty attempt for Jones. Leahmae Keogh then stepped up and drilled the PK to cut the deficit to 2-1.

The Bobcats drew level in the 75th minute when Carson Turner dribbled to her left just outside the 18 and knocked a left-footed bender into the top shelf. 

Jones barely missed the go-ahead goal in the 83rd minute, hitting the left post and then the crossbar on a rebound attempt.

Neither team could find the golden goal in two, 10-minute overtime periods as the match ended in a draw.

JC fired off 25 shots, 16 of them on goal. They also owned a 7-1 edge in corners. The teams combined for 36 fouls.

The Bobcats continue a three-match road swing on Friday at Meridian.
