How It Happened

The Sagehens put on early pressure in the first half with Charlotte Tapp taking the first shot of the game just 2:22 in. Just 1:24 later, Emily Tomz sent the ball in off a corner, finding Hannah Mandell who took a shot, but the Redlands goalkeeper was there to make the save. In the ninth minute, Tomz took a rip her attempt was saved. Two minutes later Tomz sent in another corner. The corner got deflected out, but Spencer Duetz collected the ball and sent it back into the box. A Redlands defender attempted to head the ball out, but it got through and found the foot of Taylor Venenciano who took one touch before shooting it just past the keeper on the right side to give Pomona-Pitzer the 1-0 lead. 

After controlling the run of play for much of the half, Ciannah Correa notched her second goal of the season in the 33rd minute to give the Sagehens a 2-0 lead. Amanda Khu earned an assist on the play after taking the ball into the box before sliding it to the center to Correa who took a strike off the pass, tucking it just inside the upper 90. 

The Bulldogs responded just moments later with a goal of their own in the 38th minute, cutting the Sagehens lead to 2-1.
