UC Riverside 2, Cal Poly 1 (2OT) - Box Score
San Luis Obispo, CA—The UC Riverside Highlanders (7-4-0, 1-0-0) needed two overtime periods to win their Big West opener, 2-1, over the Cal Poly Mustangs (1-8-1, 0-1) in San Luis Obispo.
Tessa Lennala opened the scoring in the match with an unassisted goal in the 16th minute, her team-leadingsixth of the season.
The Mustangs fired 11 shots in each of the halves, with Sharon Day’s shot at 61:19 reaching the back of the net, tying the contest at one.
For the match, CP outshot the Highlanders by a total of 25-8, but it was the last shot of the night that made the difference. Last season’s goal-scoring leader for the Highlanders, Jenna Leonti, wound up with a golden opportunity late in the second overtime period, taking a loose ball on the right side of the box with Cal Poly goalkeeper Alli Tramel off her line. Leonti booted the ball past Tramel and gave the Highlanders a dramatic victory.
UCR’s Deanna Borgelt was great in net for the Highlanders as she made a career high nine saves in her Big West debut.
The Highlanders remain on the road for their next match against UC Santa Barbara, Sunday at 1:00 pm.
