RIverside—The UC Riverside Women's Soccer Team (1-5-0) returns home after a four-match road trip to face Portland State on Friday, September 17. Kick off is slated for 7 pm PT at the UCR Socccer Stadium, and fans who are unable to attend the match may follow it via their computers and mobile devices on LiveStats.
The Highlander's defense has given up just eight goals on the season including one goal or less in five of six matches, but the offense has managed just one score on the year.
The Vikings have won three of their last four matches including a pair of victories at the Las Vegas Invitational and their most recent 3-0 win over Western Oregon. Their lone loss during that stretch was a 1-0 decision at Oregon State.
This is the second meeting between the Highlanders and VIkings as the teams first squared off on September 22, 2003. Portland State came away with a 6-3 win in one of the highest scoring matches in the history of the UC Riverside program.
GAME NOTES
ROAD WARRIORS
The Highlanders 1-0 win over Texas State on September 3 was the team's first road win since they toppled Cal State Northridge, 1-0, on October 30, 2008.
THE THINEST OF MARGINS I
The final margin in 24 of the Highlanders last 28 matches has been 1 goal or less including 5 of 6 this season.
THE THINEST OF MARGINS II
Prior to the team's 3-0 loss at San Jose State on September 12, each of UC Riverside's last 8 losses, and 12 of the team's previous 13, were by just one goal.
WHITE OUT
Highlanders goalkeeper Jessica White recorded 11 saves in the Highlanders' 1-0 season-opening loss to UNLV. Two weeks later, she was credited with 12 saves in the Highlandes 1-0 loss at Texas. She leads the Big West Conference with 39 saves.
In 2009, White finished the year 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 7 shutouts on the season were tied for the second most in Highlanders history.
AND A FRESHMAN SHALL LEAD THEM
It's still early yet, but freshman Melisa Escamilla is the Highlanders leading goal-scorer at the moment. Only twice in the nine-year history of the program has a freshman finished the year as the team's leading scorer—Jessica Armel (4 goals, 1 assist) in 2002 and Renee Scachetti (7 goals, 4 assists) in 2003.
