ROHNERT PARK, Calif-  Senior Kayce Brawley scored twice in the second half on Friday afternoon to lead the 16th-ranked Sonoma State women's soccer team to a 2-0 win over San Francisco State at Seawolf Field in Rohnert Park.  The win preserves the Seawolves' perfect CCAA record as they go to 6-1-0, 2-0-0 CCAA.  The Gators fall to 3-3-1, 2-1-0 CCAA.

At 6-1-0, the Seawolves are off to their best start since 1999, when they were 6-0-1 through their first seven games. 

Head coach Luke Oberkirch was pleased with his team's performance, saying "This was a good victory against a team that was on a roll (SF State knocked off No. 3 UC San Diego and Cal State Dominguez Hills last weekend)."

Despite not playing in the first half, or at all in the previous two games, Brawley wasted little time making her mark, scoring the game's first goal just three minutes into the second period.  Megan Cunningham crossed the ball from the left where it skipped off Taylor Edmonds and right to Brawley, who poked it in. 

"I'm really proud of Kayce," said Oberkirch, "After not playing in a couple games, to come right in and make a difference like that is outstanding.  She's an experienced player and she knows where to be."

In the 78th minute, Brawley scored again, this time off the rebound of a shot by Brooke Peterson.  Peterson was credited with an assist on the play.

The Seawolves' defense was superb all game long, limiting the Gators to just three shots.  SF State did attempt five corner kicks, but they were limited in actual scoring threats by the SSU back line.

Coach Oberkirch also pointed out the play of Edmonds, a freshman from Manhattan Beach, "I thought Taylor played a great game from start to finish."

The Seawolves will look for a weekend CCAA sweep on Sunday when Cal State Monterey Bay comes to town.
