ROHNERT PARK, Calif-  Sophomore Jaci Davey headed the ball home off a beautiful cross from Libby Moyer three minutes into overtime to give the seventh-ranked Seawolves a 3-2 come-from-behind win over Cal State L.A. on Sunday afternoon in Rohnert Park.  The Seawolves capture their fifth consecutive victory and improve to 9-1-0, 5-0-0 CCAA on the season.  The Golden Eagles drop to 1-6-1, 0-5-0 CCAA.

Head coach Luke Oberkirch was pleased with his team's win, stating "We showed a lot of guts today.  This was a good win against a very good defensive team."

The Seawolves found the game's first goal just 2:29 in when Taylor Edmonds' corner kick found Brittany Peterson, who poked it in.  With such a quick goal, it looked like the Seawolves might pile on a few more goals in the first half, however, the Golden Eagles tightened up their defense and would not allow another goal for nearly 78 minutes. 

In the meantime, CSULA's Khadijah Greenwood single-handedly put her team in fine position.  First, on a counter attack in the 34th minute, Greenwood got the ball alone and in the clear, lofting a shot over SSU goalkeeper Courtney Grixti and into the net.

In the 73rd, with the score tied 1-1, Greenwood struck again, this time getting a feed from Sarah Le and again lofting it over Grixti. 

Trailing 2-1, the Seawolves dug deep, controlling the ball and putting the pressure on the CSULA defense.  They finally broke through in the 81st minute when a Lindsay Catton free kick took a fortuitous bounce, over the Golden Eagle keeper and into the net. 

In overtime, the Seawolves got the game-winner when Moyer got the ball near the base line and sent a perfect cross that was met by the head of Davey and re-directed into the net. 

Said Oberkirch, "I can't say enough about the play of Jaci, Libby, and all of our reserves. What a great goal!"

"Today we showed that we have the ability to come back in a game," said Oberkirch.  In fact, it was the first time the Seawolves have come from behind to win a game this season.

The Seawolves out shot the Golden Eagles 16-4 and held a 7-2 edge in corners. 

The Seawolves will hit the road next weekend to face UC San Diego and Cal State Dominguez Hills.
