SAN BERNARDINO - With swirling winds of up to 12 miles per hour, Cal State Dominguez Hills prevailed over Cal State San Bernardino in a California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) women's soccer matchup by a final score of 2-1, Sunday at Premier Field.
 
Trailing 1-1 in the 54th minute, junior Sara Kattainen laced an inswinging corner kick into the net by the far post which turned out to be the game-winner. It was Kattainen's first goal of the season.
 
CSUDH was the first to light the board up. In the 14th minute, junior Holly Kaemerle's attempt from the right side was blocked by a Coyote field player. The ball went straight to sophomore Patricia Rubio-Martinez's feet as she flicked it over the CSUSB goalkeeper's head and into the net. It was Rubio-Martinez's third goal and Kaemerle's second assist of the season. The Coyotes answered in the 34th minute as both teams were level, 1-1, at halftime.
 
"It was bad conditions in San Bernardino, but it's not like they have to play in the weather too," said head coach Marine Cano. "We played much better in the second half and got the win with two great goals."
 
The Toros held a 9-6 shot advantage, 5-4 on shots on-goal, over the Coyotes in 90 minutes of play. Junior goalkeeper Jessica Neighbors compiled three saves. Neighbors, Kattainen, sophomore Vanessa Campos, freshman Kekoa Nelson, junior Haley McDevitt and junior Madeleine Simones played all 90 minutes. Campos has played every single minute on the field for CSUDH this season.
 
The Toros will travel to Northern California to take on Cal State East Bay on Friday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. for their next matchup.
