Chico State junior Shelby Lanksbury scored twice and added an assist to help lift the Chico State women's soccer team to a pair of victories last week. Lanksbury logged a goal and assist in Thursday's 4-0 thrashing of California Baptist, and then scored the game-winner in the Wildcats' 1-0 win against Dominican University of California on Saturday, earning Wildcat of the Week honors.
 
Lanksbury leads the Wildcats (4-1-1) with three goals and is tied for the team lead with seven points.
 
She assisted on Chico State's third goal Thursday. The Wildcats were moving the ball crisply down the right flank when Lanksbury one-timed a pass on a turn to Dias at the top of the box. Her pass reversed the flow and exposed the defense. Dias took two patient dribbles across the top of the box and then delivered a well-timed pass to Bengivengo, who hit a low liner into the side netting inside the far post.
 
Lanksbury's goal was the Wildcats' last Thursday, but perhaps the prettiest of all. She pounced on a turnover and then hit a rocket into the right upper-V from 30 yards with 5:46 remaining, giving Chico State it's first four-goal match since Oct. 21, 2011, and four-goal margin of victory since a 4-0 win against Sonoma State on Sept. 26, 2010.
 
Saturday, Lanksbury provided the lone goal in Head Coach Kim Sutton's 200th career win. It came in the 19th minute when Dias delivered a pass through traffic to Lanksbury, who took a touch to put it on her left foot and then slammed it past the oncoming goalkeeper and inside the near post.
 
Lanksbury and the Wildcats open California Collegiate Athletic Association action at Humboldt State Friday at 12:30.
