Women’s soccer - Long Beach State defeated the Pacific Tigers1-0 in their conference opener Sept. 30, but an injury to freshman Hayley Bolt took her out in the second half.

Before her injury, Bolt scored the winning goal thanks to Sahar Haghdan’s aggressive play against Pacific’s defense.

LBSU dominated most of the match and the Tigers could not score on a chance by Mandi Van Dorn and Carla Velluntini.

Pacific held tight defense when Liz Romo and Bolt fired a few shots early on. The win puts the 49ers at 8-2-1 and 1-0 in conference play.

LBSU kick off a four-game homestand Oct. 7 when they host Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
