Thirty-one minutes into Wednesday's Jayhawk Conference women's soccer game between Hutchinson Community College and Dodge City, Mother Nature decided to intervene.

With the No. 13-ranked Blue Dragons leading 3-1 at Don Michael Field, the game went into a weather delay with 10:19 remaining in the first half and was ultimately suspended.

The game was originally scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Salthawk Soccer Complex, but moved to the turf field at Don Michael and pushed back to 7 p.m. because of heavy rains in the Hutchinson area early Wednesday.

No date for the resumption of the game has been set yet. The Blue Dragons (4-1) plays host to Seward County at 2 p.m. on Saturday at the Salthawk Soccer Complex.

Dodge City took a 1-0 lead in the 12th minute on a goal from Mette Battling on the Conquistadors' first shot attempted of the game.

The Blue Dragons then scored three unanswered goals to build a 3-1 lead.

Freshman Olivia Tamaki scored in the 17th minute to tie the game on a Bessie Simpson assist. She gave the Dragons the lead with her second goal of the game and fifth of the season on an Isabela Puccinelli assist in the 26th minute.

The Dragons took a 3-1 lead when Puccinelli took a long Ana Pokrandt pass and scored from 20-yards out in the 31st minute.
