After a slow start and a late resurgence in the second-half, first-place Denver proved too much for Fresno State as it trounced the Bulldogs, 17-4, Friday at Bulldog Stadium.

Denver (11-1, 5-0) remained undefeated and atop the standings of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation with the win.

The Pioneers received hat-trick performances from Jill Remenapp and Gretchen Nace with Kara Secora and Becca Steinberg adding two apiece.

The Bulldogs (2-9, 0-5) were held scoreless until the second half when Briana Hetherington found the net on an unassisted goal.

Later in the half, Hetherington found teammate Paula Badali to add on another Bulldog goal. Holly Cisneros found the net twice for Fresno State’s final two scores.

Defensively, Ashley Phillips had four ground balls and forced two turnovers and Kasandra Martinson won two draw controls and scooped up two ground balls.

Fresno State will play its final home game of the season against Saint Mary’s at 3 p.m. Wednesday at Bulldog Stadium. The game will also honor seniors Callie Seidman and Martinson, who have been on the team since its inception in 2009.
