UCR Celebrates Garrett's Return With 3-2 Win At Cal State Fullerton

UC Riverside 3 - Cal State Fullerton 2 - Box Score
Fullerton, CA—UC Riverside forward Heidi Garrett (Riverside, CA), who missed the Highlanders' previous four games due to injury, returned to the lineup on Sunday afternoon, and UCR made the most of it with a 3-2 win at Cal State Fullerton.
It was the first conference win of the season for the Highlanders (6-10-2, 1-5-1) who got a pair of goals from Tessa Lennala (Temecula, CA), her eighth and ninth of the season, including the game-winner with less than three minutes remaining.
Lennala could have had three goals on the evening, but Titans keeper Shannon Simpson blocked her penalty kick try early in the second. However, Garrett was there to clean things up knocking the rebound back into the net for her eighth goal of the year. That made the score 2-1 with 3:46 gone in the second.
Cal State Fullerton (7-10-1, 2-5-0) tied the match less than five minutes later on a 15-yarder off the foot of Christina Murillo, setting the stage for Lennala's late-game heroics.
The Highlanders have just two matches left on the season. Next up is a road trip to Cal State Northridge on October 30 at 2:30 pm. The season finale, Senior Day, is scheduled for November 2 vs. Seattle at 1 pm.
