(Sept. 30, 2007) –
The defensive minded Lions from Loyola Marymount (6-3-1) handed
UCR (6-4) a 2-0 loss in the final non-conference match of
the season for the Highlanders.
UC Riverside was unable
to get any momentun in a match where their opposition had
plenty of it. The win for LMU was their sixth straight, setting
a new school record.
Deanna Borgelt kept the
Highlanders in the match in the first half as she made three
saves, keeping the match scoreless at the break. However,
only 1:38 into the second half, LMU’s Katie Osborne’s
shot from 28 yards out, gave the Lions the only goal they
needed for the victory.
Loyola Marymount’s
Lacey Bartels made the score 2-0 on her successful penalty
kick at 57:16.
UCR’s offense manged
only two shots in the second half, and trailed overall in
the shots category 16-6.
The Highlanders will put
this loss behind them as they look toward Big West Conference
play. Their first opponent will be Cal Poly this Friday. UCR
will travel to San Luis Obispo for a 7:00 pm match.
