CARSON, Calif.-Cal State Dominguez Hills and Cal Poly Pomona battled to a 1-1 double overtime tie in a California Collegiate Athletic Association contest today at Toro Field.

Pomona got on the board early when at 11:29 Lisa Araujo took a clearing attempt from CSUDH's Sanoe Samatua (N. Torrance HS) off of a corner kick and headed a shot to the near post past goalie Heather Williams (Canyon HS), who was drawn out off her line making it 1-0.

That was all the scoring until the 78th minute when Samatua tallied the equalizer. Samatua gathered the ball from 15-yards away on the left flank, and with her left foot chipped the ball to the far post past Bronco goalie Katie Kreps.

Both defenses staved off furious rallies to send it into overtime. CSUDH's best chance to take the lead in regulation came from forward Tanya Wilson (Palm Springs HS) who hit a shot from 25-yards out, but the ball hit the top of the post and went over the net.

Again, both defenses held each other scoreless resulting in the draw. CSUDH did hit the post twice in one possession, but the ball was finally cleared by a Pomona defender saving the game. The Broncos outshot the Toros 17-15 in the game but Williams tied a career-high with 9 saves in goal.

CSUDH (7-0-1, 3-0-1 CCAA), who came into the game ranked No. 8 in the latest NSCAA polls, returns to action Sunday, Sept. 16 when it hosts Cal State San Bernardino. Cal Poly Pomona (3-1-1, 1-1-1) travels to Cal State Los Angeles this Sunday.
