EDMONTON – Playing in their final weekend of the Canada West season, the Lethbridge Pronghorns rallied from down a goal in the second half to pick up a 1-1 draw with the MacEwan Griffins in Canada West soccer action.
MacEwan outshot Lethbridge 26-9 in the game, but only 9-6 in shots on goal, highlighting many near misses. With the result, the Griffins are 1-7-5 on the campaign, while the Pronghorns are 0-10-3.

Griffins' Michael Enes hit a crossbar and Stefan Gajic dinged a post just over three minutes apart in the first half.

Joseph Abrahart narrowly missed the net twice in the first half on wide open shots.

Rakan Yassin beat Lethbridge keeper Matthew Vandervoort but not defender James Braid in the second half.  Kapri Simmons had a late breakaway, but his feet got tangled and he was unable to execute a chip over the sliding keeper into a yawning cage.

And it was the height of ridiculousness how the Griffins didn't score in the 76^th minute off a scramble in the box where Enes' point-blank attempt was blocked before Yassin fired a laser in that Vandervoort stopped and Everett Orgnero sent the rebound over the bar.

Yassin scored MacEwan's only goal of the game in the 50^th minute, just 37 seconds after getting subbed into the match. On his first touch of the afternoon, he took a pass wide right from Stefan Gajic and buried a low steamer inside the left post for his first career Canada West goal.

The Pronghorns tied the game off a 63^rd-minute corner kick that Danilo Morales sent high back post. Big 6-foot-6 rookie Damon Field elevated and headed it into the top right corner for his first career Canada West goal.

"I know it's a big moment for him," said Pronghorns head coach Randy Bardock. "He's a first year and he's played every minute for us. He's just been awesome. It's well deserved.

"Hopefully the first of many.

"We had a lot of young kids out there today and I thought they battled hard," he added. "It's the only way they're going to get better is to make those mistakes and learn and grow from it."

Both teams finish the 2019 Canada West campaign with regular season finales on Sunday. MacEwan will host Saskatchewan (12 p.m., Clarke Stadium), while Lethbridge visits Alberta (2 p.m., Foote Field).
