BELLINGHAM, Wash. --- Kim Acino scored from the goalmouth just over two minutes into the second half, giving Cal State University Dominguez Hills a 2-1 victory over Western Washington University in a women’s soccer game Sunday at Civic Stadium.

Forward Stephanie Holt scored the opening goal of the game for Western, which fell to 5-6-1. CSUDH improved to 7-3-3.

Holt opened the scoring in the eighth minute, heading in Jessica Sabado’s flick off an Amy Bouska free kick from eight yards out. It was Holt’s second goal of the season, and her second in the last two games.

But the Toros tied the score in the 29th minute on their first shot of the game. Kristen Walsh won a ball near the right side of the penalty area and fired a cross to Chantel Eastwood, who scored her first goal of the year with a header that went just inside the left post.

CSUDH got the game-winner shortly after halftime, as Acino knocked in a cross from Michelle Sena for her fourth goal of the season.

Western, which had a 12-8 edge in shots, had its best chance to tie on a free kick by Bouska from 25 yards out that curled over the defensive wall, forcing a save from Toro goalkeeper Alba Garcia.

The Toros return to Carson for a two-match homestand beginning Friday with Sonoma State. Start is 12:30 p.m.
