Roadrunners Host APU, Fresno State

Tweet to @CSUB_WSoccer

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – CSU Bakersfield opens its non-conference home slate with a pair of opponents at the Main Soccer Field, Thursday and Saturday. The Roadrunners kick-off against Azusa Pacific at 4:00 p.m. and Fresno State at 7:00 p.m., respectively.

CSUB women's soccer earned a 1-1 draw in their season-opener at Sacramento State last weekend. Senior midfielder Angelica Hurtado equalized on a penalty kick in the 35th minute. Freshman keeper Flavia Burrell made six saves in her first match as a Roadrunner.

APU's last contest was on Nov. 16, 2019. Cougars head coach Brooke Lincoln led that team to a 9-7-2 season. Bakersfield and APU have no game series history.

Fresno State has gotten off to a slow start this year. The Bulldogs are 0-2-0 after opening weekend and without a match until Saturday have sights set solely on the `Runners.

Bakersfield is down 3-5-1 in the all-time series but has won the last two of three games played against the Dogs.

In their last matchup on Sept. 8, 2019, junior forward Darian Tatum tied the game after going one-on-one and past a defender. The Roadrunners would earn a 2-1 road win – a first for the program.

CSUB is on the road for three-straight contests following APU and Fresno State this weekend, with matches at University of Idaho (Sept. 3), Eastern Washington (Sept. 5), and Saint Mary's College (Sept. 10).

All home non-conference games, and all Big West matches, will stream live on ESPN+ this season.

CSUB Athletics is excited to welcome fans back to the Main Soccer Field for Roadrunner home events this season. At this time, fans are required to wear a face mask at all times while at the Main Soccer Field unless in designated areas for food and drink consumption.

CSUB Athletics will continue to follow campus, city, state, and federal guidelines regarding COVID-19 policies and safety procedures, which are subject to change at any time.
