Erin Woods powered her way into position and finished with poise to get the Chico State women's soccer team on the scoreboard early in the second half Sunday. She did it again six minutes later.
 
Woods' second-half brace, which gave the Chico State women's soccer team's striker three goals on the weekend, lifted the Wildcats to a 2-1 victory over visiting Cal State Dominguez Hills at University Soccer Stadium.
 
Chico State extended its school-record home unbeaten streak to 19 matches with the victory. The Wildcats are now 2-0-4 on the season, 1-0-1 in California Collegiate Athletic Association action, and one of three remaining unbeaten sides in the CCAA.
 
Cal State Dominguez Hills fell to 0-4-1 overall and 0-2 in the CCAA.

 
Chico State's leading scorer last season (eight goals and five assists), Woods recorded her first goal of 2018 Friday night. She stayed hot Saturday, with the help of two brilliant set pieces.
 
Brielynn Tovani was on the end of the first. Her free kick from just inside the midfield stripe sailed directly to the PK spot. Woods, who started on top of the 18-yard box, fought her way there, got her defender on her back, and then volleyed Tovani's ball over her left shoulder with her right boot. The ball bounced once before nestling into the netting inside the right post in the 59^th minute of play.
 
The assist was the first of Tovani's career.
 
Woods struck again in the 64^th minute, this time finishing a Jordan Doukakis corner. Doukakis' ball sailed just over Susanna Garcia and her Dominguez Hills defender at the near post and bounced once before Woods knocked it down with her chest just inside the six-yard box and directly in front of the goal.
 
Woods, who was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with her defender with the ball was kicked, snuck around her back to gain inside position. After the ball fell from her chest to her feat, and bounced back up right in front of her, Woods quickly pounded it home with a left-footed chest-high volley for a 2-0 edge.
 
The assist was Doukakis' first of the season and fifth of her career.
 
Woods now boasts 14 career goals, including 11 since the start of last season.
 
Cal State Dominguez Hills cut the lead in half on a gorgeous strike in the 83^rd minute. Holly Kaemerle skillfully trapped a long free kick inside the box to set the play in motion. She attempted to beat a defender, but when should could not find space, back-heeled a pass to Sofia Litendahl, who was open near the outside edge of the 18-yard box. Litendahl rewarded the pass with her own thing of beauty, hitting her strike into the top shelf from 10 yards out.
 
That was the lone shot of the day that Wildcats' true freshman goalkeeper Vic Graham could not handle. She finished with eight saves.
 
Chico State will hit the road with trips to Cal State Monterey Bay and Cal State East Bay, and Cal State San Bernardino and Cal Poly Pomona, over the next two weekends. The Wildcats will return home to face Sonoma State on Oct. 12.
