A late goal helped Citrus College grab a 2-2 draw at Santa Barbara Tuesday night.

The Owls move to 5-2-2 on the year, while the Vaqueros sit at 3-2-3 overall.

Santa Barbara struck first with a goal in the 10th minute, but Sammy Ghandour evened things up in the 28th minute with his fifth goal of the year.

The Vaqueros snuck in a goal just before halftime and looked like they were going to walk away with the win, but Citrus never gave up.

Just before the ref blew the final whistle, Alan Lira found Jacob Ponce for the game-tying goal in the 90th minute.

Christian Sanchez finished with 13 saves in goal for the Owls.

Citrus looks to head into Western State Conference action on a high note with one more non-conference game, heading to Santa Monica on Friday for a 1:30 p.m. kick off.
