Lady Loggers tie Bigfork soccer

A last ditch effort earned the Libby Lady Loggers soccer team a tie Tuesday in Bigfork. For much of the contest it looked like Libby keeper Shannon Reny was going to will her team to a scoreless draw. Reny finished with 20 saves, but a strike by Alauna Weilacher put Bigfork ahead in the 70th minute. However, Libby (0-4-1, 1-7-1) was able to come back in the 77th minute on a goal from Callan Peel assisted by Anna Carlson. The remaining minutes — high school matches in Montana are 80 minutes — ticked away and the Lady Loggers picked up their first non-loss in conference play.
