Women’s Soccer Falls in Big West Opener

Grashoff returns to goal in loss to Mustangs

RIVERSIDE, Calif. - UC Riverside kicked off Big West competition on Thursday night at the UCR Soccer Stadium with a 2-0 loss to Cal Poly.  

HOW IT HAPPENED 

  • UCR held the Mustangs scoreless in the opening 45 minutes and kept them to just three shots with no attempts on net.  
  • The first half's lone shot on net came in the 22nd minute off the boot of Sarah Mahfoud, who went for the far post at the edge of the box.  
  • Mimi Dominguez, already the squad's leader in shots entering Big West play, claimed UC Riverside's other two for the half. Dominguez went in on goal in the 73rd minute but was dispossessed at the top of the box.  
  • Allee Grashoff stood alert on two big occasions midway through the second half with a close-range scooping of the ball in the 63rd minute and a stop at the near post in the 67th.  
  • Cal Poly broke the deadlock in the 75th minute, finding the far bottom corner from the left side of the box. The Mustangs doubled their lead from the spot in the 84th minute.  

NOTABLES 

  • Grashoff made eight saves in her return to goal on Thursday, all in the second half.
