SEASIDE - Cal State Dominguez Hills scored early and held on for a 1-0 shutout victory over Cal State Monterey Bay in a California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) women's soccer matchup, Sunday Otter Soccer Complex.
 
"It was a great win for the program, (we) played with toughness and energy for 90 minutes," said head coach Marine Cano. "They all did their jobs defensively, and created good opportunities to score goals, but Monterey Bay played very hard and smart. It was a battle until the very end."
 
CSUDH (5-7-2, 3-4-1 CCAA) scored the lone goal of the game in the 24th minute. Junior Haley McDevitt sent a ball from the back line to junior Holly Kaemerle playing up front on top of the box. Kaemerle brought the ball down, flicked the ball over one defender, spun past another and sent a right-footed laser into the lower-left corner under the outstretched arms of Otter goalkeeper Alyson Schade.
