Final Stats

DAVIS, Calif. -- UC Santa Barbara defeated UC Davis, 2-0, Friday in a Big West Conference women's soccer game at Aggie Soccer Stadium. Alissa Sanchez and Kylie McDonald scored goals as UCSB improved to 11-5-1 overall and 4-1-1 in the Big West. The loss drops UC Davis to 6-6-3 and 1-4-1 in the conference.

The game was scoreless for virtually the entire first half before the Gauchos converted with less than a minute remaining. McDonald controlled the ball along the left endline and passed to Sanchez in front, who lined a shot into the goal with 38 seconds remaining in the half for her second goal of the season.

In the second half, UCSB increased its lead in the 60th minute when McDonald scored from about five yards out. Jacqui Simon started the sequence near midfield and Genelle Ives fed a roller down the middle. McDonald maneuvered behind the Aggie defense and promptly scored her fourth goal of the year.

UC Davis outshot UC Santa Barbara, 15-9, including 7-3 in the first half. Gabina Bohlman and Lisa Kemp each had three shots while Jordan Martin and Molly Scott finished with two apiece. UCSB's Ali Cutler picked up eight saves.

UC Davis next hosts Cal Poly Sunday at noon. The Aggies will honor Bohlman, Danielle Contro, Stephanie Schmidt, Molly Scott and Brianna Tsui prior to the game as part of Senior Day.
