UC Riverside 0, Long Beach State 0 (2OT) - Box Score
Long Beach, CA—A 0-0 double overtime tie at Long Beach State brought an end to UCR's 2004 season as the Highlanders needed a win plus a Cal Poly loss to make the four-team Big West Tournament. Riverside finishes a record-breaking season with a 13-2-4 record including a 3-2-4 mark in conference play. The thirteen wins are a program-best.
On a beautiful Halloween Sunday in Long Beach, the Highlanders came out firing, knowing that anything less than a win would end their season. The conference's highest-scoring offense took thirteen shots on the day but was unable to put any of them away as the 49ers (6-9-3, 1-6-2 Big West) kept pace.
Senior goalkeeper Katie Blank (Chino Hills, CA/St. Lucy's Priory) was called into action to make several crucial saves after UCR's starting goalie, sophomore Tawny Poggio (Santa Ana, CA/Mater Dei HS), had to leave the game following a collision with a Beach player. Blank entered the game at 46:16 and stopped six shots, including a game-saving parry in the 103rd minute.
The 2004 Highlanders set numerous single-season records, including most wins, ties, goals, assists, and points and fewest goals allowed. In addition, junior midfielder Renee Scachetti (Torrance, CA/Bishop Montgomery HS) and freshman forward Jenna Leonti (Corona, CA/Santiago HS) set new single-season goals marks with eight apiece. Scachetti also established a new points record with twenty while sophomore forward Amber Plumlee (La Habra, CA/Sonora HS) had a program-best five assists.
UCR finishes tied with Pacific for fifth in the Big West standings. UC Santa Barbara, Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Northridge, and Cal Poly move on to the conference tournament next weekend in Irvine.
