Cal Poly Pomona avenges lone loss, downs Dixie State 2-0

Storm shutdown for third consecutive loss

Box Score POMONA, Calif. – Daisy Duran contributed on a pair of Cal Poly Pomona goals that proved to be the difference as the Dixie State women's soccer team fell to the Broncos 2-0 Saturday afternoon at Kellogg Field. The Red Storm were outshot by the hosts 20-3 for the match including a 13-0 drought in the second half.
 
The loss drops Dixie State to 1-3-1 on the year while CPP avenges their lone loss of the year earlier to DSU, improving to 5-1 in their 2014 campaign.
 
Cal Poly Pomona wasted little time putting pressure on the Storm and lit the scoreboard in the third minute. Off an entry pass deep into the box, Duran scored from close range for a 1-0 CPP lead.
 
After the Broncos jumped in front, the Storm had three opportunities in the opening half. Erica Gonzalez got two looks in the 17th minute – the first went wide left and the second was blocked away by the Broncos defense.
 
Aarika Andersen put the last DSU shot on goal, but it was saved in the 38th minute.
 
Dixie State kept scrambling, but could not register a shot over the final 45 minutes. The fulltime whistle blew with Dixie State being handed its third consecutive loss to California-based clubs.
 
The Storm will look to return to its winning ways on Monday, Sept. 22 when it hits the pitch against Cal State Dominguez Hills. Kickoff between DSU and CSUDH is slated for 4 p.m. Pacific (4 p.m. Mountain) from Toro Stadium.
