Pioneers Final Victim to Stanislaus’ Unbeaten Season

11/3/2013 7:00:00 PM

Box Score TURLOCK, Calif. – Cal State East Bay women's soccer ended the 2013 season on the road Sunday afternoon falling to nationally ranked No. 6 Cal State Stanislaus, 4-0. All four goals came in the second half and the Warriors (16-0-2, 14-0-2 CCAA) became the first California Collegiate Athletic Association team to go undefeated since 1998.

"(Stanislaus) is an amazing team. We played them tough the first time around and the first half today," said East Bay Head Coach Amy Gerace. "We made mistakes, but we worked hard and showed good effort."

Cal State East Bay was held without a shot attempt over the opening 45 minutes but was able to head into the locker room at halftime in a scoreless tie. However an own goal within the first minute out of the break aided the California Collegiate Athletic Association's (CCAA) most prolific offense.

"We were losing possession too much on goal kicks in the first half. We tried to maintain possession by passing between our keeper and backline...A miss touch by our defender went into our goal," said Gerace.

Karanee Demery repeated her effort from the original meeting between these two teams just nine days ago. She scored twice within a five-minute stretch in the second half and broke her own school record with goals number 20 and 21 on the year.

Teammate Kirsten Coleman netted her second goal of the season in the 79th minute to cap off the scoring on Sunday. Sabrina Williamson, Katelyn Nebesnick and Maryssa McDuffy assisted on the Warriors goals, respectively.

Ariana Gordon, who scored in Friday's game against Sonoma State, was one of two Pioneers to take a shot on Sunday. Sialei Manuleleau and Gordon took the only two shots for East Bay, both coming in the 67th minute of play.

Senior Donna Williams made five saves in her final collegiate game. Chelsea Lewandowski earned the solo shutout and was not forced to make a stop for the third time over her past four starts. The only goal a Warriors opponent has scored over the past six matches came from Cal State East Bay's Alyssa Rodriguez back on Oct. 25.

Two milestones for the host Warriors took place on Sunday. Stanislaus Head Coach Gabriel Bolton earned career win No. 100.

Cal State East Bay (4-12-2, 4-10-2 CCAA) finishes in fifth place in the CCAA North Division standings. The Pioneers doubled their conference win total from a year ago in which they finished 2-11-1.
