Beach breaks streak
with 4-0 Big West victory
Staff reports
Sophomore Abie
Curry scored two goals and senior Kim Stempkowski had a goal
and an assist as the Long Beach State women's soccer team
ended a three-game losing streak with a 4-0 victory over host
UC Riverside in a Big West Conference contest Sunday.
The victory lifts the 49ers' conference record to 3-2 (4-8-1
overall) and keeps The Beach in contention for the Big West
title with four games to play. Cal State Fullerton leads the
Big West with a 5-1 record.
Curry opened the scoring against UC Riverside (4-8, 1-5 BWC)
with a rebound goal off a Stempkowski shot in the 12th minute,
and the Beach took a 2-0 lead when redshirt freshman Allison
Wiegand scored an unassisted goal in the 17th minute.
LBSU took the lead into halftime and blew the game open when
Curry scored unassisted in the 67th minute to make it 3-0.
Stempkowski closed out the scoring in the 81st minute, connecting
on a shot from 40-yards out for her first goal of the season.
Curry now has three goals on the season, while Wiegand is
tied for the team lead in goals with fellow freshman Kristin
Travis at four.
The Beach outshot UC Riverside, 21-7, and 49er keepers Jihan
Elgazzar and Hannah Cochrun, who each played a half, made
two saves each.
LBSU begins its final homestand of the year with two Big West
matchups this weekend, taking on Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
(5-7-3, 2-1-1 BWC) Friday at 3 p.m. and UC Santa Barbara (7-6-1,
3-1 BWC) Sunday at 1 p.m. Both games will be played at George
Allen Field.
