Matadors Fall Short of Goals

After scoring only 10 goals in its first 14 matches, the Cal State Northridge women’s soccer team scored six Friday but lost to Northern Arizona, 7-6, in a Big Sky Conference match in Flagstaff, Ariz.

Trailing, 4-1, at halftime and 6-2 midway through the second half, the Matadors (1-14, 0-3 in conference play) scored four goals in 22 minutes to send the match into overtime.

Danielle Wile scored her first goal of the season in the 119th minute to give the Lumberjacks (3-10, 1-2) the victory. The teams played in wind-chilled temperatures near 20 degrees.

Riya Gough gave Northridge a 1-0 lead in the 10th minute and Beth Hoiby’s goal in the 55th cut the Matadors’ deficit to 4-2. The team’s late flurry included goals by Marilyn Huschka and Amy Gill and two by Jennifer Barnes, who scored with six minutes left in regulation for a 6-6 tie.

Tawni Takagi made 15 saves for Northridge and Autumn Cummins stopped 10 shots for the Lumberjacks, who broke a seven-match losing streak.
