UC Riverside 4, CSU Bakersfield 0 - Box Score
Riverside—The UC Riverside women's soccer team posted its second consecutive shutout to open the 2008 season with a 4-0 win over the CSU Bakersfield Roadrunners on Sunday afternoon at the UCR Soccer Stadium. The Highlanders had a height advantage at nearly every position and used it to full effect winning the majority of 50-50 balls on the day and out-shooting CSUB in the first half 9-5.
CSUB kept things close in the first period, but Denise Thomas scored UCR’s first goal with 4:12 to go before the break. Roadrunners defender Raeanne Quaresma picked up her second yellow card of the afternoon less than two minutes into the second period putting the Highlanders a player up the rest of the way.
UCR midfielder Heidi Garrett wasted no time in making CSUB pay, scoring mere moments after Quaresma left the field. The Highlanders pushed the pace for the remainder of the game out-shooting the Roadrunners 11-2 in the second.
Letty Villalpando and Kristy Adcock added goals for UCR with Adcock drilling one from 40 yards out over the outstretched arms of the Bakersfield keeper.
Next up for UC Riverside is a pair of road games in the Cornhusker State – August 29 at Nebraska and August 31 at Creighton.
Notes
UCR last posted back-to-back shutouts on September 14 (2-0 over Eastern Michigan) and 16 (1-0 over George Washington) of last year. The last time the Highlanders recorded three straight shutouts was at the tail end of the 2006 season in wins over UC Irvine (3-0 on October 20), UC Davis (2-0 on October 26) and Long Beach State (3-0 on October 29). The team record for consecutive shutouts is five during the 2002 season. UC Riverside is 2-0 to start a season for the fourth time in its eight year history (2001, 2004, 2007). The team record for consecutive wins to start a season is nine in 2004. That team didn’t suffer its first loss until the 13th game of the year (10-0-2).
