LOS ANGELES - After extending its Sullivan Field win streak to a program record 11 straight games, the LMU women's soccer team will hit the road for a clash against No. 23 Long Beach State on Friday at 7 p.m. before returning to Sullivan Field on Sunday against Ball State for an 11 a.m. clash.
Streaking
With its 11th straight win on Sunday, the Lions set a new record for wins in-a-row on their home turf. Previously, the 2008 squad won 10 in-a-row on Sullivan Field, while 2009 would open up its home slate with a draw before reeling off a record of 5-0-2 until LMU suffered its first defeat in over a year to then-ranked No. 16 UCSD.
Last Time Out
Behind a pair of goals in a two-minute span from freshman Phoebe Riley, the LMU exploded for four second half goals to cruise past CSU Bakersfield, 4-1, last Sunday. Along with Riley, Sarah Sanger and Tatyanna Lewis also chipped in scores as the Lions ignited the scoreboard four times in 15 minutes.
