Slugs Stifle Sunbirds in 4-1 Senior Day Victory

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - In a high-energy Senior Day performance, the UC Santa Cruz women's soccer team dominated Fresno Pacific 4-1 on Tuesday evening in front of an electric home crowd. The Slugs controlled the pace of the game from the opening whistle, outshooting the Sunbirds 20 to 4 (7 to 3 on goal) and earning four corner kicks to build an insurmountable lead. The Banana Slugs spread out the offense with Emilie Brack and Caitlin Walters scoring first half goals while Caroline Alanis and Jade Jones struck in the second half. With the victory secured, UC Santa Cruz now turns its attention to its next matchup on Sunday, October 11 at 11:00am, when they hit the road to face Occidental College in Los Angeles.
