SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – A goal by sophomore Tiffany Gummow in the 47th minute of play gave Cal Poly a 1-0 win over Long Beach State in a hotly contested battle between the two women’s soccer programs in a Big West Conference game at Alex G. Spanos Stadium on Sunday. With the win Cal Poly improves to 11-5-0 overall and 5-1-0 in Big West contests while the 49ers fall to 5-8-2 overall and 1-3-0 in BWC.

Gummow’s game winner, her fourth goal of the season, came when she dribbled the ball down the left side of the field, beating two LBSU defenders. The shot squeezed between the far post and deflected off the goalie and into the net.

The goal by Gummow may have been the decider, but a play in the 73rd minute created the drama. Off a Long Beach State corner kick by Karina Camacho, 49er Lindsay Bullock headed the ball toward the Cal Poly goal while Coral Hoover, the Mustang goalie, deflected the ball toward the post and off a Cal Poly defender for an apparent save.

Long Beach State claimed a goal while Cal Poly claimed the save. A discussion of over four minutes by the officials resulted in a no goal call and the officials put the ball back in play with a dropped ball 10 yards in front of the Cal Poly goal. The resulting dropped ball saw the ball played out of bounds.

Long Beach State had another opportunity for a goal in the 50th minute when Camacho settled a ball off a pass from Nadia Link, and fired a shot from 10 yards out with Hoover making a diving save.

The scoreless first half saw the Mustangs take just three shots, two on goal compared to six by the 49ers with two on goal.

The Mustangs best scoring opportunity came in the 30th minute when Kristina Condon-Sherwood was awarded a free kick from 30 yards out. She bent it around the wall, but LBSU goalie Emily Kingsborough was there for the stop.

The 49ers had a opportunity in the 38th minute on a cross from the left side by Karina Camacho, but Hoover was able to punch the ball out of the box.

Overall LBSU outshot Cal Poly 15-8 with six shots on goal compared to the Mustangs four.

Hoover earned her eighth shutout of the season making six saves in the game. Kingsborough took the loss for the 49ers, making three saves.

The Mustangs honored the team’s seven seniors prior to the game; Coral Hoover, Kaleena Andruss, Ally Kellogg, Carissa Voegele, Kristina Condon-Sherwood, Jessica Rodriguez and Julianne Grinstead.

The Mustangs return to the field on the road when they travel to Pacific for a conference game on Oct. 23.
