BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — No. 19 Cal State Bakersfield's offense continued to score almost at will on Sunday with two more big wins to complete the 2007 Roadrunner Invitational at the John S. Hillman Aquatics Center.
The Roadrunners opened the day with a 14-7 win over Cal State San Bernardino before crushing University of Pacific 19-6.
In Bakersfield's first game, the Roadrunners trailed early on 2-1 but scored four straight goals into the second period to take a 5-2 lead and never looked back. Yulia Blinovskaya led all scorers with five goals while Amanda Ortiz scored four. San Bernardino's Kaitlin Hartman led the Coyotes with four goals.
Bakersfield has now scored 141 goals this season and brought its total of goals over the weekend to an outrageous 68 in the four games.
The Roadrunners easily remain on school-record pace for team goals in a season, which current stands at 328 by the 2005 squad. That team averaged 9.11 goals per game, while the 2007 Roadrunners are averaging nearly 12 goals per game.
On top of that, the 19 goals scored by Bakersfield against Pacific are the most scored by the Roadrunners this season and is tied for the fifth-most in school history. The Roadrunners led 8-2 at the half, then exploded for eight goals in the third period to blow the game open.
The Roadrunners led 17-3 at one point early in the fourth quarter.
Neshmil Ariy led Bakersfield with five goals while Amanda Ortiz added four. Kellie Fletcher led the Tigers with three goals.
