Box Score HAYWARD – They still managed to make it a close match, but this time the Chico State women’s soccer team mustered a win. Scotie Walker scored two first-half goals and the Wildcats held off Cal State East Bay for a 2-1 win Friday night in Hayward, snapping a streak of four straight one-goal losses.

Walker scored an unassisted goal in the fifth minute, finding the back of the net from 10 yards out after Danielle Leiva set her up. She bagged her second brace of the season by pounding home a cross off the boot of Denni Jo Berger in the 21st. The junior now leads the Wildcats with five goals. The assists were Leiva's second and Berger's first.

Chico State improved to 5-6 overall and 3-5 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). The Wildcats are tied with Cal State Monterey Bay for third place in the North Division but have a chance to move past the Otters when the teams meet in Seaside Sunday at 11:30 a.m.

Cal State East Bay fell to 4-5-1 overall and 2-5-1 in the CCAA.

The Wildcats held the commanding lead until the 82nd minute when they were whistled for a foul in the box and Shianna Falk drew the Pioneers within a goal.

Cal State East Bay could get no closer, however, as their three shots over the final eight minutes flew wide or were blocked.
