Logan, UT—The UC Riverside women’s soccer team battled to a 0-0 tie with Utah State in a key Big West Conference matchup Sunday afternoon in Logan, Utah. Heading into the match Utah State was second and UC Riverside was third in the BWC standings.
After playing to a 2-0 win against the University of Idaho in Moscow on Friday, the Highlanders had to bus back to Spokane, Wash., catch a flight to Salt Lake City and then travel by bus again to Logan and then play an early 12:00 p.m. game on Sunday.
Tired as they were, the Highlanders (10-5-3, 4-2-1 Big West) were able to play a close match with the Aggies (10-5-2, 4-1-2 Big West).
Both teams came out firing in the first half with Utah State having a slight 8-7 lead in first half shots with UCR getting one shot on goal and Utah State managing two.
USU's best scoring chances came off shots from Amber Tracy and Charlsie Harris. Each had shots that went just wide of the goal. Riverside's best scoring opportunity came in the first half when Vanessa Chanez headed a cross that bounced off the crossbar.
Each goalkeeper recorded five saves. UCR Tawny Poggio recorded her second shutout of the weekend and seventh solo-shutout of the season. The Aggies’ Megan Mills also recorded her second shutout of the weekend and 10th of the season.
With a point apiece with the tie, Utah State ties Cal Poly with 14 points and UCR remains in third with 13 points. Cal Poly was scheduled to play at 12:00 p.m. at fifth place Pacific, but was rescheduled to 6:30 p.m. due to lack of officials at game time.
Fourth place Long Beach State and sixth place UC Irvine postponed their matches due to safety concerns with high levels of smoke in the air due to three major fires burning in the Los Angeles area. That match is rescheduled for Tuesday night.
