BAKERSFIELD, Calif.— Emily Noethe (So., Dallas,
Ga., East Paulding HS) scored in the 61st
minute to give CSU Bakersfield (1-3) a 2-1 victory over the University of San Francisco
(1-1-2) in women's soccer action Sunday night.
The Dons struck first when Mackenzie Krieser took advantage
of a CSUB turnover and broke the seal at the 8:09 mark. Erica Shelton (Jr., Bakersfield, Calif.,
UC Santa Barbara) tied the match with a long shot that found the top right of
the goal.
Noethe scored off a long pass from Sam Peña (Sr., Bakersfield, Calif.,
Bakersfield HS) for the gamewinner. The Dons pressed over the final 25+ minutes
and had a corner kick with 10 seconds remaining, but the CSUB defense was able
to turn away USF for the victory.
“I am very please that our first win was through excellent
play and (came off a) pair of mature goals,” said CSUB head coach Melissa
Phillips. “Its promising to see the way our leaders played and how everyone
filled in a role.”
The Roadrunners continue a five-match homestand Friday night
when Loyola Marymount travels to Bakersfield
for a 7 p.m. start.
