Second Half Scoring Spree Downs Redlands
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. � The California Lutheran University women�s soccer team moved past the University of Redlands in the conference standings Saturday morning, after defeating the Bulldogs at home by a 3-0 margin. Aubrie Smith, Danielle Balderamma and Mackenzie Porter each scored a second half goal in the win.
The intensity was high as both teams understood the playoff picture could shift after the game�s result. CLU came out strong and pressured the Redlands defense as both teams were held scoreless taking four shots apiece.
Just over three minutes into the second half a Brittany Clark was chipped directly in front of goal to a waiting Smith, as she headed in the game-winner. Balderamma would score just 89 seconds after Porter passed a ball into a crowd of players in front of the Redlands goal.
Porter, after picking up her third assist of the season, scored for the first time in 2007 after a Marisa Zambetti shot ricocheted off the goalpost and put away the rebound.
Cal Lutheran and Redlands switch spots after Saturday�s result, with the Regals now in third place bumping the Bulldogs to fourth.
