Women's Soccer Earns Shutout Win over Humboldt State

Box Score HAYWARD, Calif. – Kelley Brown and Alyssa Rodriguez scored first half goals to give Cal State East Bay a 2-0 victory on Sunday afternoon at Pioneer Stadium. Both goals came within a five-minute stretch and the defense was stout in posting the team's third shutout of the season.

Brown collected a deflected pass near the Hubmoldt State (3-10-3, 1-10-3 CCAA) penalty kick area and scored with a blast past Lumberjacks goalkeeper Kelly Lukas. Brown's goal was her first this season, along with the first game-winner and second overall of her Pioneer career.

Cal State East Bay (4-10-2, 4-8-2 CCAA) controlled the pace throughout the game and continued to put pressure on the HSU back line. East Bay's Sialei Manuleleau forced a diving save from Lukas, and Rodriguez was there to put away the rebound just five minutes after taking the lead. It is her second goal in as many games after providing the equalizer in Friday's contest against No. 7 ranked Cal State Stanislaus.

"Our team played very well this weekend," said East Bay Head Coach Amy Gerace following the team's games against Stanislaus and Humboldt. "Our defense was very good today. I thought Alyssa (Rodriguez) played smart and aggressive in scoring her two goals."

The Pioneers shut out the Jacks in both 2013 matchups. East Bay goalkeeper Donna Williams made two second half saves to earn her third solo shutout of the season. Humboldt State's Lukas made five saves in the loss.

Cal State East Bay will play its home finale on Friday, Nov. 1, against No. 20 ranked Sonoma State (10-3-3, 8-3-3 CCAA).
