LA JOLLA, Calif-  The Sonoma State women's soccer team played their second overtime game in a row on Friday night, but this time it would be their opponents celebrating a golden goal as UC San Diego prevailed, 2-1.  The 12th-ranked Seawolves (9-2-0, 5-1-0 CCAA) fall for just the second time this season and see their perfect CCAA record come to an end.  UC San Diego improves to 8-2-1, 5-2-0 CCAA.

Sonoma State scored the first goal of the game just after the 33-minute mark when Lindsay Catton headed the ball in off a corner by Libby Moyer.  It was the team-high sixth goal of the season for Catton as well as the team-high sixth assist of the year for Moyer.

The Seawolves would hold on to their 1-0 lead through the end of the first half and for the first part of the second half before the Tritons equalized.  The tying goal came from Natasha Belak-Berger on a penalty kick. 

Foul trouble would plague the Seawolves, especially in the second half.  Sonoma was whistled for 20 fouls in the game compared to just ten for UCSD.  The margin was even larger in the second half, 12-2, and both yellows in the game were shown to SSU. 

The game-winning goal came in the sixth minute of overtime when Belak-Berger scored her second goal of the game.  This time, it came off a pass from Sarah McTigue, allowing Belak-Berger to beat SSU keeper Courtney Grixti to the left post. 

The Seawolves and Tritons each attempted 11 shots and four corner kicks in the game.

The Seawolves will look to salvage the road trip on Sunday when they meet Cal State Dominguez Hills.
