In a contest where neither side could seize the upper hand, the Fernley Vaqueros and Needles Mustangs settled for a hard-fought 3-3 draw on Friday. It was a game of give and take, with both teams showing flashes of brilliance but neither able to land the decisive blow.
The draw leaves Fernley sitting at an even 1-1-1 on the season, a mixed bag of fortune that suggests the Vaqueros are still searching for a rhythm. Needles, now at 1-2-1, will look to build some momentum when they host Southwest EC on Saturday morning.
Fernley, meanwhile, wasted no time returning to action, though their next outing was far from ideal. They ran into a buzzsaw against Central, suffering a humbling 7-0 defeat on the 28th. The Vaqueros will need to shake off the sting of that loss as they prepare for their next challenge on the road.
In tournament play, there’s little time to dwell on the past—only the next battle ahead.
