Cal Lutheran Hands Women's Soccer First Home Loss

OWINGS MILLS, Md. - California Lutheran, the seventh-ranked team in the NSCAA West Region poll, scored two goals in each half en route to a 4-0 victory Sunday at the Caves Complex.

The win was the second in as many days for the Regals (2-2) on the Stevenson campus after they defeated Christopher Newport 1-0 in double overtime on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the loss was the first for the Mustangs (4-2-1) in their last five games since a 2-1 defeat at Alvernia in the championship of the Crusader Cup on August 31.

California Lutheran's Rosemarie Lombardi had a hand in three of the Regals' four goals, scoring one in each half and assisting on Brittany Clark's game-winner in the 39th minute. She then scored her first goal, unassisted, with just 43 seconds remaining before halftime.

The Regals outshot Stevenson 13-1 in the first half en route to a 2-0 lead against Mustang junior Michelle McConnell (Pylesville/North Harford) who was making her second start in goal this season. She made three first half saves before giving way to freshman Brittany Ross (Millersville/Severna Park) in the second half.

Ross faced just five shots, stopping three of them, but the two goals she allowed were twice as many as she had allowed in six previous games. Despite that, she still boasts a 0.61 goals against average, an .833 saves percentage and a 4-0-1 record this season.

Lombardi added her second goal in the 73rd minute before Rebekah Casas scored her first career goal with just 3:04 remaining to cap the scoring.

The Mustangs will look to get back on track when they face local rival McDaniel at home on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. Stevenson won last year's meeting, 2-1 at Westminster on Oct. 2, 2007.
