The Malone University women's soccer team overcame a 1-0 deficit at NCAA Division II Shepherd (WV) University on Wednesday afternoon as forward Jasmine Evans scored twice in the final 20 minutes of the match to lift the Pioneers to a 2-1 victory. Following a scoreless first half, the Rams pulled ahead with a goal just over six minutes into the second stanza. The hosts then maintained their advantage until the 71st minute as Evans knotted the contest at 1-1 after scoring off a pass from midfielder Sarah Heckman. Evans then struck again just eight minutes later, netting the game-winner off an assist from midfielder Katie Heckman.
