LAST WEEK'S MATCHES
CSUN opened the 2023 season with a tough 1-0 loss to Portland at Matador Soccer Field last Thursday. The Pilots capitalized off a CSUN turnover to score the game's only goal in the 13th minute. CSUN held Portland, an NCAA Tournament team last season, to just two shots over the final 75 minutes.
The Matadors would pick up their first shutout of the season last Sunday afternoon in a 0-0 draw at UNLV. Goalkeeper Hayden Mauldin racked up six saves in picking her first clean sheet of 2023. CSUN was outshot 12-8 in the contest but would put half of its shots on goal.
MATADOR HEADLINES
CSUN's first shutout of the season on Sunday was the team's first on the road since Sept. 22, 2019, in a 2-0 victory at Grand Canyon. The Matadors would also play in their first scoreless draw since Sept. 6, 2019, against Kansas State.
Hayden Mauldin's shutout at UNLV was the second of her two-year CSUN career. Through two matches this season, Mauldin has allowed just one goal in 180 minutes of action. As a team, CSUN has not allowed any scoring in the second half thus far on the campaign.
After week one, six Matadors have made already their debut with the program. Among the newcomers, freshman defender Pauline Gericke has seen the most minutes on the field (137). Also earning action last week were Paige Califf, Kaylee Gutierrez, Daisy Torres, Braedyn Kincade and Savannah Estrada.
