Sayfurahman Scores Her Second Goal of the Season on Saturday

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Cal State East Bay women's soccer showed grit and determination on Saturday afternoon at Harrington Field, but a second-half surge wasn't enough to overcome an early deficit in a 2-1 loss to (RV) Western Washington. Mika Sayfurahman found the net for the second time this season and 19th tim in her career to climb the Pioneer record book for goals.

 SCORING SUMMARY
  • WWU 1, CSUEB 0 (20') — The Vikings struck first in the 20th minute when Emily Holdridge finished a tight passing sequence from Morgan Manalili and Reese Walker to give WWU a 1-0 lead.
  • WWU 2, CSUEB 0 (29') — Nine minutes later, the Pioneers surrendered an own goal, putting the hosts ahead 2-0 heading into halftime.
  • WWU 2, CSUEB 1 (55') — East Bay responded with urgency in the second half. In the 55th minute, senior Mika Sayfurahman received a pass from Kella Folkerts and fired a shot from the top of the box into the upper left corner of the net. The goal was Sayfurahman's second of the season and the 19th of her career. 

Despite several late pushes and a balanced shot count, the Pioneers were unable to find the equalizer.

 POSTGAME QUOTE

Cal State East Bay head coach Anne Whipple:
"It was a strong effort from our group, especially in the second half. We battled every ball and every opportunity, and it was a privilege to witness and be a part of. We're continuing to put the pieces together on both sides of the ball, and I'm excited to see it all come together next Sunday."
