Cal State Northridge 2, UC Riverside 0 - Box Score
Riverside—The UC Riverside Highlanders (8-6-1, 2-2-1) fell to the Matadors of Cal State Northridge (3-9-1, 1-3-1), 2-0 on a very hot afternoon in Riverside at the UCR Soccer Stadium.
Northridge’s Susie Mischenko scored her team leading fourth goal of the season at the 16:29 mark. She was able to dribble through Highlander defenders into the box and beat the keeper with a blast to the right side of the goal from only 10 yards away.
The Matadors added another goal at 48:35 on a penalty kick off the foot Kristy Krohn. Krohn was charging after a ball when she hit the ground inside the penalty box, Sarah Mohammadi was given a yellow card for the foul.
The pace of the game was sluggish due to the heat. A total of 11 fouls were called in a match that featured 22 shots.
An unfortunate incident occurred in the 87th minute when a cross was played in front of the CSUN keeper Ivette Esqueda. UCR senior defender Jill Del Rosario was trying to put a head on the ball when she violently collided with Esqueda. After a half hour, both players left the game, Esqueda under her own power and Rosario on a stretcher as she was taken by ambulance to the hospital.
The Highlanders played aggressively to end the match but were unable to gain any scoring opportunities.
UCR will travel to Long Beach as they take on the top team in the Big West Conference, Sunday at 12:00 p.m.
