Double-overtime road win for Stanislaus women’s soccer

Double-overtime wins on the road can sustain a soccer team’s momentum through a season.

The Cal State Stanislaus women earned one of those special victories Friday night, 1-0 at Cal State San Marcos.

Jordan Moineau followed her corner kick and found the loose ball in a scramble in front of the net for the decisive goal. The Warriors, 2-0-1 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association, improved to 6-1-1 overall.

Moineau’s score came with 7:36 left in the second overtime. It was her team-leading fifth goal of the season. Moineau booted in the rebound from an attempt by Nicole Bare.

“We have worked hard this year on becoming a team that can manufacture goals on free kicks. It’s great to see the payoff today,” coach Gabriel Bolton said. “Jordan was absolutely fantastic today controlling the midfield. She is a box-to-box player who can score goals, which is fantastic for our team.”

Cal State San Marcos (1-3-3, 1-1-1), facing a Cal State Stanislaus team for the first time, held its own in just the third CCAA match of the program’s history. Stanislaus is 2-1 this season in extra time.

The Warriors’ defense continued its strong play. The win was the team’s third straight shutout and extended its scoreless streak to 302 minutes. Chelsea Lewandowski now has 22 1/2 shutouts in her career.

“Sometimes you just have to grind out wins on the road. I’m very proud of our effort today,” Bolton said. “San Marcos was very determined defensively. They had 10 players behind the ball, so it was difficult to break down.”

Stanislaus faces UC San Diego in La Jolla on Sunday at 2 p.m.
