SANTA ANA, Calif. –  The Santa Ana College Men's Soccer team met up with the Irvine Valley Lasers on Tuesday afternoon for an Orange Empire Conference (OEC) showdown.

Both teams held their heads high after the match ended in a 2-2 draw.

11 minutes later, the Lasers countered with a goal of their own to tie the match at one. Eder Olivas was the goal scorer and he was assisted by Toby Waterman.

The second goal for the Dons came in the 28th minute when Paulo Gama put his first goal of the season away off a pass from Cuhna. With that, the Dons went into the second half leading 2-1.

The Lasers came out in the second half with an aggressive mindset, scoring a goal just two minutes into the half with a long ball from Eder Olivas to knot the game at two.
