RIVERSIDE, Calif. - The Cal State Fullerton Titans women's soccer team continued their historic start to the season after defeating UC Riverside 3-0 on the road for their first away Big West match of the season.
The Titans remain unbeaten to start the season after moving to 8-0-2 and also picked up three points to move into a three-way tie into first place in the Big West standings with four points.
Isaac Ranson made history after making fives saves in the match to move to 316 saves for his career. The RS-Senior goalkeeper broke a 19-year old record held by the former Titans Hall of Famer, Karen Bardsley who had 312 saves (2002-2006). The goalkeeper also picked up the 25th shutout of their career, one behind the all-time shutout leader, Karen Bardsley with 26 shutouts.
After a slow start to the game, the Titans and UC Riverside were tied 0-0 at the half. However, the Titans would explode for three goals in the second half.
