Loyola Marymount 2, UC Riverside 0 - Box Score
Los Angeles, CA—Loyola Marymount University scored a goal on either side of halftime to defeat the UC Riverside women’s soccer team 2-0 Friday afternoon in a non-conference game at Sullivan Field. With the loss, the Highlanders fall to 4-3-1 in 2005 while the Lions improve to 3-3-3.
On a warm and hazy day in Los Angeles, LMU got off to a quick start, putting four shots on goal in the first 23 minutes and forcing UCR junior goalie Tawny Poggio into two early saves. The Lions took the lead at 31:04 as Lori Sims took a pass from Whitney Temple and hit a shot from 20 yards that beat Poggio. The home side finished the first half with a 1-0 lead on the scoreboard and 9-3 advantage in shots.
The Highlanders pressed forward in the second half and almost immediately had a chance to equalize but LMU goalie Joslyn Slovek saved a shot by Loana Holness. Attempts by Kristen Williams and Angela Reling in the first five minutes after halftime streaked wide.
In the 55th minute LMU grabbed its insurance goal. After a foul on UCR, Sara Aldama lofted a free kick into the penalty area, where Tana Smothermon headed it into the back of the net. The Highlanders only had one shot the rest of the way and fell to their second straight defeat.
Poggio made five saves in goal for UCR while Slovek stopped three for the Lions. LMU held a 13-7 overall shot advantage.
UCR ended its five-game road trip having gone 2-3.
