August 30, 2004

BELLINGHAM, Wash.—(August 30)—Nikki Szlak scored five minutes into the game to give Cal State Dominguez Hills women’s soccer its first win of the young season, 1-0, over host Western Washington University Monday afternoon.

The Toros are now 1-2-0 to begin the 2004 campaign, while WWU is now 1-1-0.

Szlak (Long Beach, CA/Los Alamitos HS) took a short pass inside the box from Amy Livergood (Torrance, CA/N. Torrance HS), and slipped her shot inside the right post from ten yards away to give CSUDH all the scoring they would need.

The Toros stingy defense made the goal stand up, allowing the Vikings to only seven shots the entire game.

The victory is the first in three tries for Cal State Dominguez Hills, after dropping its first three contests in the Emerald City. Nhi Tran (Renton, WA/Citrus College) earned the win in her first start in between the posts making two saves.

Cal State Dominguez Hills will return home to face Grand Canyon in its home opener on Sunday, September 5 at Toro Field. First kick is set for 3 PM.
