`Runners Stumble in Big West Opener at UVU

OREM, Utah – The Cal State Bakersfield women's soccer team stumbled in its Big West opening match Wednesday night in Utah. The Roadrunners answered back after giving up an early goal to host Utah Valley, but the Wolverines put on an offensive show on the way to a 7-1 victory.

Key Facts
  • Bakersfield battled a tough UVU side that has results this season against No. 17 Kansas (W), Michigan (T), and Washington State (W).
  • Junior CJ Walters scored her second goal of the season on CSUB's first-half equalizer.
How it Happened

Utah Valley opened the scoring in the 10th minute of the match on a rebounded shot that glanced off a Wolverine for a 1-0 lead. Less than three minutes later, the `Runners responded on a midfield takeaway. Tania Tapia-Cardenas slotted a perfectly placed ball to Walters, who beat the UVU goalkeeper on the equalizer.

The Wolverines got back on the scoreboard in the 29th minute and took a 2-1 advantage to the second half. UVU scored early and often in the final 45 minutes on the way to a dominant, 7-1 victory.
