Riverside—The UC Riverside women’s soccer team shut out visiting Long Island University, 4-0, Friday afternoon at the UCR Soccer Stadium. The Highlanders were credited with two goals in each half.
The Highlanders (3-1-1) were put on the board early when the Blackbirds’ (1-3) defense knocked the ball in their own net and were charged with an own goal giving UCR a 1-0 lead in the eighth minute.
It wasn’t until late in the first period when UCR’s Lindsay Hellman scored the first goal for the Highlanders’ offense on a shot that deflected off the keepers’ hands in the 42nd minute to put UCR up 2-0 heading into the break.
In the second half, Vanessa Chanez was able to take a header from Danica Pomerenck and head it herself past LIU’s goalkeeper in the 76th minute to give the Highlanders a 3-0 lead.
Kim Furnald added the final goal of the game heading a bullet into the lower-right corner of the net off a cross from the left side from Linda Allen.
UCR out shot the Blackbirds, 15-4, with Stephanie Kansky making four saves for the Blackbirds and Tawny Poggio, who played just the first half, making three saves for UCR.
