FULL GAME NOTES
NORTHRIDGE, Calif.---CSUN Women's Soccer (2-12-1, 0-5-1) hits the road this week to face a pair of unbeaten teams in league play. The Matadors take on UC Irvine on Thursday at 7 p.m. before heading to Long Beach State for a Sunday match at 6 p.m. Both games will be broadcast on ESPN+.
LAST TIME OUT
The Matadors dropped a 1-0 decision to Hawai'i last Thursday at Matador Soccer Field. CSUN tied a season-high in shots (15) and would outshoot Hawai'i on the night (15-12), but the Rainbow Wahine hit the game-winning goal in the 49th minute. The loss spoiled a strong outing by CSUN's goalkeeper Hayden Mauldin, who recorded five saves. Freshmen Sami Kolin started on defense for the first time since Sept. 3 and played the full 90 minutes while fellow freshman Samantha Healy picked up a team save in what was her second appearance on the field this season. Another freshman, Yoshi Rubalcava, led the team in shots with five.
MATADOR HEADLINES
With four matches remaining on the regular season schedule, Cindy Arteaga tops the Big West in shots (56) and shots on goal (26) while she ranks tied for second in goals (6) and in third place in points (13). Ashley Cruz and Kacie Garrity are tied for 16th in The Big West with two assists. In goal, Hayden Mauldin is up to fourth place in saves with 53.
Aside from Arteaga, two other Matadors have hit the net this season as Cruz has two goals to go with six points while freshman Cassidy Imperial-Pham has one goal and three points.
Arteaga sits at nine career goals with the Matadors and a goal shy of becoming just the 14th Matador to score double digit goals in team history. She is currently third all-time in CSUN history in shots with 139 over her career.
Sixteen Matador newcomers have seen the field this season including 14 freshmen. A true freshman, Mauldin has started the last 10 matches in goal for CSUN, racking up 900 minutes to go with a 2.10 GAA. Imperial-Pham leads the first-year field players in minutes with 568 followed by Jackie Victorio with 550.
