MOREGA, Calif.—Emily Noethe (So., Dallas, Ga., Spaulding HS) scored in the 67th minute as CSU Bakersfield (3-6-1) defeated UC Davis (4-3-1) 1-0 in the second match of the Saint Mary’s Tournament Sunday.

A scoreless first half saw the Roadrunners outshoot the Aggies 10-3.  Noethe’s gamewinner occurred after she converted on a breakaway. Sam Peña (Sr., Bakersfield, Calif., Bakersfield HS) and Taylor Wheeler (Fr., Fullerton, Calif., La Habra HS) were credited with assists on the play. Noethe’s goal was her second of the season and her second gamewinning goal of the year.

CSUB held off a Davis rally in the final minute when the Aggies were awarded a corner kick. Lexi Poppoff put the corner on net for Ana Marija Sola’s who had her header blocked by the Roadrunner defense. Samantha Estrada (Jr., Visalia, Calif., College of Sequoias) recorded her first win in a Roadrunner uniform in net. Her shutout saw Estrada make three saves.

An All-Tournament will be selected upon the conclusion of the meet later on Sunday afternoon.

CSUB travels to Fresno State Friday night in a match that will determine the winner of the annual Valley Cup. Kick is set for 7 p.m.
