LOS ANGELES, Calif.--Loyola Marymount (4-1-1) handed CSU Bakersfield (1-3) a 3-0 loss in women's soccer play Sunday afternoon at Sullivan Field.

The Lions' Linda Bakker scored in the eight minute and the 33rd minute of the first half for LMU. Cori McGovern added a goal in the 59th minute.

CSUB goalie Kym Gause (Sr., Manteca, Calif., Modesto JC) made four saves as Loyola Marymount outshot CSUB 20-7.

"LMU is an excellent (team), however we beat ourselves with three defensive lapses," siad CSUB Head Coach Melissa Phillips. "We have been asking a few of our younger players to fill roles for us and have done just that. Not it is time for our veteran players to step up. We were given confidence by our senior captain (and) goalkeeper Kym (Gause). She has been an udoubtable force in all areas of the program but especially in goal."
