Saturday's Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) match-up between the University of Redlands and Occidental College women's soccer teams was a hard-fought clash on Farquhar Field. However, the eventual game-winning goal came only seconds into the first half as the Bulldogs suffered a difficult 0-1 loss.

Occidental pounced on the Bulldogs and found the back of the net just 23 seconds into regulation. Junior defender Liz Martin (Fremont, CA) notched the game's only score when she stepped in front of a Redlands pass and struck a quick one-timer into the net.

The Maroon and Gray fought hard to come back, striking 17 shots, including four against the post. But it wasn't enough to overcome the strong play of senior goalkeeper Robin Feldman (Louisville, CO), who collected five saves in the process.

Sophomore goalkeeper Linzey Smith (Anaheim Hills, CA) protected the Redlands goal during the second frame, making six saves in 45 minutes of work.

The Bulldogs look to bounce back on Wednesday evening as they travel to Whittier College for a 7 p.m. SCIAC match against the Poets.
