Vandals Steal 1-0 Win at Main Soccer Field



BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – If you didn't watch the match tonight and only saw the final score of the contest you wouldn't have the full picture. Idaho found the back of the net in the first half and snuck off with the victory, but it was the Roadrunners who applied the most pressure at the Vandals' goal line.
 
Idaho scored off a set piece in the first period, but the Roadrunners first back off their own set piece initiated by senior Sophie Freeman. Freeman sent a long ball into the goal box that freshmen Cassandra Herrman headed into the top right corner of the Vandals' net, but a joyous moment was stripped when the touch line official called offsides. 
 
"It's encouraging to see our team come back with a goal in the first, but unfortunately it was called back" explained head coach Sebastian Vecchio.  "I think we deserved at least a tying goal though, we had a lot of opportunities."
 
"Our resilience tonight speaks volume," said Vecchio. "It was a great game for us to stumble though. It's important for us to see what it takes to win against an established program early in the season."
 
Bakersfield had another chance to add one to the scoreboard. In the second half freshman Darian Tatum found a blocked ball at her foot and sent a banger at the box, but it hit the top of the goal post and into the visitor's possession. 
 
CSUB finished the match with the advantage in shots, shots on target, and possession total. The roadrunners matched the Vandals in corners through two periods.
 
"I'm okay with losing this one as long as we learn from it," added Vecchio. "I like his team and love them, but we still have to continue to get better and mature as a group."
