But who exactly is player No. 5?
Her name is Chloe Chedester, a freshman midfielder for the Bulldogs’ women’s soccer team.
Chedester graduated from Lemoore High School in the spring. She was recruited by Fresno State along with her twin sister, Sami, who is a defender also in the team.
Chedester spoke to The Collegian about the successful throw-in following the game:
“To get an assist in my first home game is really exciting,” Chedester said after battling the Hornets. “I have tried the flip throw-in the last two games and is always in the box, so for someone to finally finish it and put the ball in the back of the net it was so exciting.”
The Bulldogs had a hard fought game that went to a double overtime, but ultimately ended with a 2-2 draw, giving the ‘Dogs the first draw of the season and leaving them with a 1-1-1 record.
