The 2009 Chico State women's soccer team set the NCAA Division II record for most ties in a season with nine. In 2018, the Wildcats are already well on their way to setting a different record for ties. With Thursday night's 0-0 draw with Seattle Pacific, the Wildcats have now started the season with three straight scoreless draws. The season record for is five, set by South Dakota State in 2003. Consecutive scoreless draws is not a category in the record book. But it's quite possible the Wildcats have that one as well. Of South Dakota State's five, only two came consecutively.
 
Chico State also stretched its home unbeaten streak to 17 matches.
 
The Wildcats (0-0-3) played brilliantly against Seattle Pacific, which entered the match with a record of 2-0-0 and ranked No. 6 in the West Region, having outscored its first two opponents by a combined 4-0. Chico State's defense and goalkeeping were on point once again. The Wildcats out-shot SPU 31-10 and allowed only three shots on goal.  

Chico State put 16 shots on frame—the team's most since August 25, 2007—and hit the crossbar with another. But Seattle Pacific goalkeeper Riley Travis made all 16 saves, a new SPU record. She turned away numerous bullets off the foot of Erin Woods and tipped a promising header from Sarah Emigh inches over the crossbar. Korie Bozart's long service toward the far post hit the crossbar in the 92^nd minute.
 
Woods led the Wildcats with a career-high nine shots, including seven on goal. Susanna Garcia and Emigh managed three shots on goal apiece.

 

Chico State also earned a 5-3 edge in corner kicks.
 
Wildcats goalkeeper Brenna Meier made a trio of saves to notch her second shutout in two starts this season. She also showed strong decision-making to take stop some promising counter attacks.
 
Defenders Korie Bozart, Abbie Jones, and Jamie Ikeda each played all 110 minutes, as did Emigh, who was fantastic on both ends of the field as the holding midfielder.
 
Chico State enjoyed a 13-4 edge in shots even before Seattle Pacific's Kasey Keeve collected a red card in the 52^nd minute.   
 
The Wildcats are hoping a change of scenery will shift their offensive fortunes. They hit the road for the first time in 2018 Sunday and will take on Dominican University of California at noon in San Rafael. The Penguins will enter the match with a record of 0-2-1.
