Women's Soccer Looks To Even Record Friday At Home vs. Seattle
8/25/2010 11:20:56 AM | Women's Soccer
Riverside—The UC Riverside Women's Soccer Team is looking to even its record at 1-1-0 this Friday evening as the Seattle Redhawks travel to the UCR Soccer Stadium for a 7 pm kick off.
The Highlanders are coming off of a 1-0 season-opening loss to UNLV on Friday, August 20. Keeper Jessica White recorded 11 saves on the night, but the Rebels scored with just over nine minutes gone in the second period for the lone goal of the match.
The Redhawks come into the match with an 0-2-0 record after losing to Washington 1-0 in their season opener on August 20 and to Oregon State 3-0 on Sunday, August 22.
This is the second meeting between the clubs as the Redhawks traveled to the Inland Empire during the 2008 season. The Highlanders picked up a 2-1 win over Seattle that day as Tessa Lennala and Heidi Gassaway (Garrett) each scored with Gassaway's 40-yard free kick in the second period proving to be the match-winner.
GAME NOTES
THE THINEST OF MARGINS I
Each of UC RIverside's last five losses, and 10 of the team's previous 11, have been by just one goal. The last team to beat the Highlanders by two goals was Cal Poly on October 9, 2009. Long Beach State was the last team to defeat UCR by more than two goals in a 4-1 win on October 17, 2008. That was also the last time the Highlanders allowed more than two goals in a match.
THE THINEST OF MARGINS II
The final margin in 21 of the Highlanders last 24 games has been one goal or less.
WHITE OUT
Highlanders goalkeeper Jessica White recorded 11 saves in the Highlanders' 1-0 season-opening loss to UNLV—the fifth-highest, single-game total in UC Riverside history.
In 2009, White finished the season with a goals against average of 0.80 (49th lowest in the nation) and a save percentage of .875 (10th best in the country). From August 28 through September 13, she ran off a 454 minute and 55 second scoreless streak spanning six matches.
Her seven shutouts on the season were tied for the second most in Highlanders history.
GONE STREAKING
The Highlanders had an eight-match unbeaten streak a year ago which is the third longest single-season streak in the history of the program.
