UC Riverside 1, UC Davis 0 - Box Score
Davis, CA—UC Riverside ended the regular season on a ten-game unbeaten streak, posting a 1-0 victory over UC Davis in a non-conference game Sunday afternoon at Aggie Field. The Highlanders improve to 11-3-4, while the Aggies fall to 5-10-3.
After three successive ties to finish the Big West schedule, UCR looked to enter next week's Big West Conference Tournament with a victory. Senior defender Lindsay Hellman ensured the Highlanders of that, scoring her first goal of the year in the 60th minute to record the game's only goal. Hellman's goal came on what appeared to be a failed Highlander offensive drive. The UC Davis defense had successfully held Riverside to without a shot on the attack and cleared the ball out toward the midfield. Hellman corraled the loose ball, then sent a high floater back toward the Aggie penalty box. It came down at such a steep angle that Aggie goalkeeper Krystyn Lizak had almost no play on the ball, but just low enough to sneak under the crossbar.
Hellman's was only one of three shot attempts by the Highlanders in the second half, after UCR had outshot its hosts by a 10-3 margin before the break. The Riverside defensive crew protected its net from several Aggie chances late in the game. In the 75th minute, UCD's Christen Rauschnot sent a perfectly placed ball to forward Dayna Dumont in the penalty box. The Highlanders cleared the ball before Dumont could get a shot off. Five minutes later, Aggie Kristin Aja was in position to accept a long serve in the box, but UCR senior Renee Scachetti cut off the pass and sent the ball out of potential harm's way.
UCR junior goalkeeper Tawny Poggio posted two saves for her sixth shutout of the year and second in a row. Lizak finished the game with five saves in the Aggie net.
The ten-game unbeaten streak is the second-longest in school history. At the beginning of last season, UCR rattled off a ten-game winning streak then added a tie for 11 straight games without a loss.
