When is an equalizer a winning goal?

When it clinches a conference championship.

Kendall Dreyer's scrambled goal off Sinead Vaughn's corner kick three minutes into second half stoppage time gave the Moorpark College women's soccer team its second Western State Conference title in three years at cross-county rival Ventura with a 2-2 tie Friday night at the VC Sportsplex.

Dreyer scored twice for the second time this week to keep Moorpark (13-0-4, 8-0-2) unbeaten.

It was in a cluster of players and it found my head," said Dreyer, an Agoura High product, of her dramatic winner. "I somehow got it in the back of the net."

The Raiders have a seven-point lead in the WSC North over Ventura (14-3-1, 6-1-1), 26-19, with two matches to play.

"It was so competitive," said Dreyer. "We never put our heads down at all. I think that goal was scored as a team."

Jazmarae Strozier, the state's goalscoring leader, headed home her 23rd goal of the season to give Ventura a sixth-minute lead.

Dreyer evened the score for Moorpark in the 33rd minute, but six minutes later, the Pirates regained the lead on Monique Orocio's goal, set up by by Strozier.

After Ventura dominated the first half, Moorpark slowly took control of the play before its late pressure paid off.
