CHARLESTON, S.C. – Jess Hanley scored a late equalizer for the Bison as North Dakota State soccer picked up a tie against The Citadel, 1-1, at WLI Field on Sunday, Sept. 3.
 
In the 86^th minute, Hanley jumped up and headed a Kelsey Kallio corner kick from the center of the penalty area off the bottom of the crossbar and down into the net off the back of The Citadel (2-1-2) goalkeeper Nora Sampson.
 
The Bison (2-2-2) started strong, creating a couple early scoring chances, but the Bulldogs would strike first on a Ryleigh Jenkins shot from distance that went past the outstretched hand of NDSU goalkeeper Abby Wilkinson into the top left corner in the 19^th minute.
 
NDSU would create more chances in the contest with several narrow misses coming off the feet of Paige Goaley and Kallio, as well Hanley and Hannah Arnold. Goaley also appeared to have won the Bison a penalty kick in the 57^th minute, as the referee pointed to the penalty spot, but later changed his call.
