BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – Forgive Cal State Bakersfield women's soccer coach Nicole Van Dyke if Sunday's 5–1 victory on the Main Soccer Field was a little bittersweet. The win came against Cal State Stanislaus, the team she spent three seasons building into the 2005 CCAA North Division champions.

Stanislaus finished 15–4–2 last season under Van Dyke, including a 4–0 win over the Roadrunners. But she returned to her alma mater to begin building an NCAA Division I program this season, and Sunday afternoon, her squad looked ready to step up to the next level.

Senior forward Taylar Sklar scored her CCAA–leading 12th and 13th goals of the season to lead a four–goal first half explosion for the Roadrunners. Her 13 goals this season tie Jamie Simpson for No. 5 on Bakersfield's single–season scoring list. She needs four goals to tie Van Dyke's single season record of 17 goals and six more to catch Van Dyke for No. 2 on the career goal–scoring list at 36 goals.

Stanislaus (6–7–1, 4–7–1 CCAA) scored first when Jenna Coates headed in Jenna Kasch's corner kick in the fourth minute. It took Bakersfield eight minutes to respond when Holly Affentranger finished a crisp series of passes that left her one–on–one with goalkeeper Sammi Shepppard.

After Sklar's 25–yard blast gave Bakersfield a 2–1 lead in the 18th minute, Affentranger completed her first collegiate brace by deftly tucking Holly Ambrecht's near post cross inside the far post in the 24th minute.

Carli Goddard floated a pass from midfield over the Warrior defense and Sklar outraced the back line to close the first half scoring in the 40th minute. Sophomore forward Moriah Neville took an identical pass from Jackie Torvestad to score her eighth goal of the season 56 seconds from time.

Cal State Bakersfield (6–6–4, 3–6–3) will head south for its final two road matches of the season this weekend. The Roadrunners play at Cal State Dominguez Hills Friday and at UC San Diego Sunday.

Stanislaus returns home to host BYU–Hawaii Monday afternoon.
