Head Coach Suzette Soboti earned her 100th Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) victory when the University of Redlands women's soccer team prevailed, 1-0, over Pomona-Pitzer Colleges on Saturday in Redlands.

Soboti, who garnered her 100th career victory on Oct. 11, 2006 against Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges on Farquhar Field, has fared better in conference competition than any of her predecessors at the helm of the Redlands women's soccer program, owning three times more victories than all other previous coaches combined.

The Bulldogs capitalized on a scoring chance early when junior defender Chelsea Hafley (Redlands, CA) pushed a pass from the left wing to junior midfielder Jessi Hoyt (Boise, ID), who subsequently finished to the right-hand side of the net.

After finding a groove in the final 20 minutes of regulation, the Sagehens nearly knotted the game at one when Kathleen Kerr charged down the center of the field with the ball, facing little traffic. Senior goalkeeper Tenley Rawlings (Salt Lake City, UT) stepped out to cut her angle off, and junior defender Sandie Shuker (Redlands, CA) jumped in front of Kerr upon her release to send the ball harmlessly out of bounds. The Sagehens would squander the corner kick opportunity that ensued, and the Maroon and Gray would eventually bring the ball back into its offensive third to end the match.

Rawlings stopped three shots in the shutout victory in between the pipes for Redlands. Pomona-Pitzer's Alex Scharr matched Rawlings' save total, yet she accounted for the match's only goal.

With the win, the Bulldogs maintain their second-place spot in the SCIAC standings but still sit four points back of Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges. The Athenas, however, remain idle on Wednesday as they face a bye while the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's team takes on Caltech, offering the Maroon and Gray an opportunity to cut the lead to one.

Redlands (5-4, 4-1 SCIAC) travels to La Verne on Wednesday for a 4 p.m. matchup against the Leopards of the University of La Verne.
