The Cal State Fullerton women’s soccer team landed in a three-way tie for first place in the Big West Conference as they came up short 1-0 against UC Santa Barbara on Friday, but recovered to beat Cal Poly San Luis Obispo 2-1 on Sunday. This weekend, the race for the Big West Conference title would go down to the wire as Fullerton, UC Santa Barbara and Long Beach State were all well within reach for the top spot in the conference. The Titans and the UCSB Gauchos were both tied for second with records of 5-10 while the Long Beach
State 49ers led the way with 6-2-0 record of their own. The Titans’ match against first place UC Santa Barbara on Friday ended in disappointment as they suffered a narrow 1-0 loss. Even though Fullerton outshot their opponents 157, it was Gaucho forward Amanda Ball who was able to knock in the go-ahead goal during the 78th minute off a pass from Mallory Hromatko. The match saw Fullerton goalkeeper Jennifer Stuart’s first loss, who was previously undefeated at 11-0-0 coming into game. It was a pivotal game for Fullerton, as they could have overtaken UCSB for a top spot in the standings. With one game remaining for both Fullerton and UCSB, the Titans had no choice but to look forward to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on Sunday. SEE SOCCER
