Before she blew out the candles on her 50^th birthday cake, Chico State women's soccer coach Kim Sutton enjoyed a great birthday present – watching her Wildcats blow out California Baptist 4-0 Thursday night at University Soccer Stadium.
 

Nicole Roberts' first-half goal gave the Wildcats a 1-0 edge. Lindsey Dias, Brianna Bengivengo and Shelby Lanksbury buried the Lancers with three sensational second-half goals in a span of less than 20 minutes.
 
Dias and Lanksbury both finished with a goal and an assist.
 
Freshman goalkeeper Mackenzie Boulton made five saves – four in the first half – for her third clean sheet in her first five collegiate contests as the Wildcats improved to 3-1-1.
 
Cal Baptist fell to 0-4-1.
 
Sutton started four freshmen and only two seniors Thursday and the future of the program looks bright. The present does too.
 
True freshman Carlie Reader set up Roberts' 11^th-minute goal, sending a cross to the far post. Roberts was ready, out-wrestled her defender for position, and then volleyed home her first goal of the season and the third of her career.
 
Dias delivered some cushion with her 65^th-minute strike. The team's active leader in goals took a pass from Patel between two defenders at the top of the box. She cut back outside with a right-footed touch for a bit of space and then hit a left-footed laser into the top shelf inside the near post from 12 yards out. Patel put Dias in a dangerous spot by beating one defender with a spin to the inside and then another with a cagey cut to her left.

Bengivengo, a true freshman, found the back of the net for the first time less than five minutes later. The ball was moving down the right flank when Lanksbury one-timed a pass on a turn to Dias at the top of the box, reversing the flow and exposing the defense. Dias took two patient dribbles across the top of the box and then delivered a well-timed pass to Bengivengo, who was making a diagonal run from the top-corner toward the left post. The freshman hit a low liner into the side netting on the far side, making it 3-0 in the 70^th minute.
 
Lanksbury's goal was last, 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.
 
Thursday also marked Sutton's grandmother's 99^th birthday and Sutton's 199^th career NCAA win.
 
Sutton has a chance to become the 20^th active Division II coach and the 34^th all-time to reach the 200-win milestone Saturday night at home against Dominican. The match kicks off at 7 p.m.
