After a strong late-season run, the University of Redlands
women's soccer season came to a close with a 0-1 loss to Occidental
College in the semifinal of the Southern California Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference (SCIAC) Postseason Tournament. With two
big wins in the final week of the regular season, the Bulldogs' run
was abruptly stopped by the Tigers' lone goal.
With momentum on its side, Redlands held its ground against the
Tigers in a physical first half. Sophomore goalkeeper Tenley
Rawlings (Salt Lake City, UT) garnered three of her five saves
during the first 45 minutes, resulting in a scoreless tie at
halftime. In the final period, the Bulldogs maintained their
scrappy play, trying to capitalize on offensive opportunities.
However, an Oxy corner kick translated into the eventual
game-winner in the 75th minute, eliminating the Bulldogs
from the SCIAC Tournament.
Bulldog women's soccer completed the 2007 season with a 9-6-3
overall record and a 7-4-1 mark in SCIAC, securing third place in
the standings.
