HERMISTON - The Hermiston Lady Bulldogs and the Putnam Kingsmen played to a 1-1 tie in soccer on Saturday September 19, 2015. It was a nice afternoon with lots of sun and a temperature of around 80 degrees. There was something odd with the scoreboard clock as the afternoon progressed. The clock would hang up on a time for several seconds then jump to the next correct time. For example the clock showed and helded on 16:03 then jumped to 15:57. It didn't seem to affect the actual duration of the game but it was an odd glitch.
The Lady Kingsmen dominated time with the ball and shots on goal throughout the match. The Lady Bulldogs played a tough defense and did take in to the Putnam zone and made it count.
The first half ended up scoreless.
Hermiston picked up the pace in the second half pushing for a chance to score. Finally in the 55th minute Lesley Risueno scored on a 30 yard free kick. Then just seconds later still in the 55th mintue the Kingsmen scored to tie it at 1-1. Then the teams went back to defense battle that the first half was.
