The Chico State women’s soccer team (2-1-2) traveled to Rocklin Saturday, Sept. 21 to take on the Jessup Warriors. The game was a defensive battle, with the Wildcats scoring their lone goal in the 36th minute. That was enough to secure a 1-0 victory over the Warriors.

A strong offensive day from the Wildcats resulted in outshooting the Warriors 9-3. A smothering Wildcat defense led to Jessup having no shots on goal, while Chico tallied six. 

Wildcats senior Kylie Rolling scored the only goal in the game off a penalty kick in the first half. Wildcats senior Avery Pieri was active offensively tallying three shots and two shots on goal.

The Wildcats will begin their four-game stretch of home games beginning Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. against Biola at the University Soccer Stadium. Students can watch the game free by showing their Wildcat ID card.
