TURLOCK, Calif. -- In what proved to be a gritty match to the very end, both the Cal State Monterey Bay women's soccer team and Stanislaus State scored goals in the first 11:52 of the game, bringing the game to a 1-1 tie. The tie would last the duration of regulation pushing the game into double overtime, leading to a tough loss for CSUMB, 2-1.

Freshman Dio Ruiz found the back of the net for the first time in her young collegiate career on a nice pass by Sahana Bojorquez that opened up Ruiz on the right side for an Otter score less than a minute into the game. Almost 10 minutes later, the Warriors found the equalizer off the foot of Sadie Montague for her first goal of the season.

The tie went the distance as the Otters played in overtime for the fifth time this season. This time, however, the decision did not go the Otters way as the Warriors' Shawna McLaughlin found the golden goal 2:12 into the second overtime period giving CSUMB the 2-1 loss.
