Women’s Soccer Caps Brief Road Trip with Loss at UNLV

LAS VEGAS - UC Riverside dropped a 3-0 decision on Thursday night at UNLV's Peter Johann Soccer Field. 

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Shots were few and far between early on with three combined attempts through the first 25 minutes.
  • Cassia Souza did not have to make her first save of the night until the 29th minute before Lexie Yela tried to find the far post minutes later. 
  • UNLV struck first just before the half, converting from close range in the 41st minute for the 1-0 lead.
  • Amelie Araya found UCR's fourth shot of the night and first of the second half, a 61st-minute attempt at the near post. Emma Gonzalez nearly equalized in the 64th minute, going just over the bar before UNLV made it 2-0 in the 67th minute. 
  • The Rebels made it a third in the 72nd minute to close the 3-0 victory. 

HIGHLANDER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Kayla Kanaly and Lavinia Vaipulu earned their second straight starts on the back line and up top, respectively. 
  • Spenser Gonzales led UCR with two shots on the night. Gonzales tried to find the narrow angle at the back post in the third minute before missing high from the edge of the box in the 35th minute.
