The Bulldogs beat first-place
Hawaii 1-0 Sunday and moves into a log-jam with Nevada, Utah State and
San Jose State for second place.
The win came after a disappointing loss to San Jose State. The Bulldogs
dropped their last home game of the season 1-0 to the Spartans Friday
night at Bulldog Stadium.
The last home game also marked senior night for Koleen Anderson, Barbara
Davis, Kortney Lewis and goalkeeper Chelsea Mays.
At the 87th minute mark, San Jose State’s Jennifer Guadagnolo found
a loose ball and chipped the game winning shot past Bulldog keeper Angie
Larsen.
“We played hard but didn’t finish our opportunities. San Jose
played hard and they found their opportunity,” said head coach Steve
Springthorpe.
The Bulldogs dominated in shot attempts, taking 11 over the Spartans’
eight.
Opportunity for Fresno State came about 10 minutes into the second half
when forward Cortney Sobrero took a high shot that was punched over the
Spartan net by goalkeeper Adrienne Herbet.
The corner kick, taken by forward Lewis, ended up again at the feet of
Sobrero who took a shot that went over the Spartan goal.
“We were confident going in but it just wasn’t our day,”
Sobrero said.
The Bulldogs committed 11 fouls on the night.
Fresno State will take a 4-2-1 conference record into Boise, Idaho for
their 11th WAC tournament appearance.
“We are a young team so this will be a learning experience,”
said Sobrero. “We just need to take care of business.”
