The Broncos recorded eight shots in the half, keeping freshman goal keeper Lorrin McCarty busy during her first college start. The Panthers kept the game close throughout all 90 minutes, just were un-able to put pressure on the offensive side of the ball.
 
COACHES CORNER
"It was a very good tactical game" stated head coach Chris Allen. "Cal Poly Pomona were a very strong team and this 100% reflects the big jump up in competition at the NCAA Dll level. It was a hard fought game and I felt we matched the Broncos at every turn. Although not happy to take a loss, I'm really happy with our teamwork and discipline. We've got a good gauge now of what to expect at this level, and will be looking to get our first NCAA win on Monday. We've gone through a lot of hard work already, and we have a lot of hard work in front of us. The team seems ready and excited for the challenge."
