Determination equals victory

By Shreya Bhakta

Good things happen with hard work. 

This was the case Sunday as the Long Beach State womenís soccer team won its first game of the season after four losses to start the season.
 

WOMEN'S SOCCER

However, the 2-0 victory over the Louisville Cardinals at George Allen Field did not come easy, head coach Julie Cochran said.

"It wasn't pretty, but I'm happy," Cochran said. "We have set our goals...and we need to keep winning."

The game's only goals came from LBSU midfielders Kim Domen and Jennifer Reott.

Domen scored 11 minutes into the game. Teammates Kim Stempkowski and Kelli Barrett assisted on the goal when Stempkowski centered the ball from the right corner to Barrett. She then tapped it to Domen for an easy goal past Cardinal goalkeeper Jordan Fredriksen.

The 49ers' play in the second half sealed the victory. 

On the second goal, freshman defender Tiffany Landgraff attempted to pass the ball to Barrett on her right side. 

However, the ball went towards the left instead, where Reott picked it up and scored her second goal of the season. Landgraff received her first assist of the season, as well.

LBSU's freshman goalkeeper Jihan Elgazzar kept Louisville out of the goal with four saves. She received her first shut-out victory.

The 49ers outshot the Cardinals 21-12 and also had four corner kicks compared to Louisvilleís one. LBSU committed a season-high19 fouls.

"We have to go to work," said Cochran of the teamís next two games in Stockton this weekend. They will play Pacific on Friday night and Idaho State on Sunday.
