FULLERTON, Calif.—Cal State Fullerton scored three goals over a 10-minute span late in the first half to secure a 3-0 shutout win over Utah Valley on Sunday evening at Titan Stadium.
 
With the loss, Utah Valley falls to 3-5-0 on the season. The Wolverines entered the match having won back-to-back matches, including a win over Wyoming on Friday nigh in the team's Clyde Field opener. Fullerton improves to 5-1-2 with the win.
 
"Outside of a couple of miscues on set pieces, this was a good game," said Utah Valley head coach Chris Lemay. "The score really wasn't an indication of how the game went. You have to give credit to Fullerton as they have an athletic team, had a good game plan and were well organized."
 
Kaycee Hoover got the Titans on the scoreboard in the 29th minute as she received a cross at the top of the goal box from Samantha Koemans and put it in the back of the net to give Fullerton a 1-0 lead.
 
The Titans took a 2-0 lead in the 36th minute after Tala Haddad sent a corner kick untouched and into the left side of the net for the score. Samantha Koemans then sent a free kick from the left side of the box and into the left side of the goal in the 39th minute for Fullerton's third goal of the half.
 
The Titans outshot Utah Valley 10-4 on the day, including a 5-1 advantage on goal. Each team tallied seven corner kick opportunities on the day. Brinley Nelson led the Wolverines with two shots, including one on goal. Breanna DeWaal and Tara Furlong each recorded one shot.
 
Brooklyn Nielsen played the first half in goal for the Wolverines, while Sarah Davis came in and played the second half in the box. Both Nielsen and Davis recorded one save. Morgan Bertsch picked up the win in goal for the Titans.
 
"We really battled back and played hard in the second half," Lemay said. "It would have been easy for our players to throw in the towel but they didn't. I thought they played hard in the second half and that says a lot about this team. We're excited to come back home in front of a big crowd on Thursday night against Washington State."
 
Utah Valley will host Washington State on Thursday, Sept. 14. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
