Long Beach State took an early lead, scoring in the 19th minute to take a 1-0 lead. Bakersfield never backed down and pressured its visitor all the way to the end of the first half. Persistence paid off as the `Runners finally cracked the Beach defense with just 13 seconds left in the period. On a corner kick delivered by Cynthia Ramirez, CJ Walters headed home the service to tie the score just before the break.<\/p>\n
CSUB rolled the momentum gained at the end of the first period right into the second and the `Runners surged ahead in the 54th minute. For the second time on the night, Ramirez sent a beautiful ball into the box and found the head of a teammate for a goal. This time around, Isis Salazar-Ortega put the ball past the Beach goalkeeper with what proved to be the game-winning goal.<\/p>\n
Bakersfield held off the LBSU attack for the remainder of the game with `Runner keeper Kamy Anaya making six saves on the night.<\/p>\n
CSUB heads back out on the road this weekend for another Big West clash at CSUN.<\/p>\n
