Slugs Demand Respect
SANTA CRUZ, CA -- Today marked
the second time this year that the Slugs have upset a nationally
ranked team. Facing off against Chapman University this afternoon, the
Tigers were ranked No.16 in the Nation and No. 3 in the West Region.
Chapman's Simi Phull scored the first goal 20 minutes into the game off
a corner kick. But Claire Gustafson would answer back for UCSC
in the 33rd minute as she drilled one from outside the box into the back
of the net. It would be a tied score as the teams went into halftime.
The second half was a battle, these two teams went at each other back
and forth, scoring a total of 5 goals. UCSC would start it off in the
67th minute when Skye Vendt-Pearce went on a breakaway beating
her defender and putting it past the diving Chapman goalkeeper. Chapman
would respond 6 minutes later off another corner kick.
With the score tied 2-2 the Slugs would score 2 straight goals in the
84th minute. The first coming off a corner kick where Junior Kirstin
Horn was able to head it in, and then 50 seconds later Caitlin
Carpenter had a breakaway that she was able to convert into a netter.
Credit Chapman with never giving up, with 4 minutes to go Liz Hopkins
was able to score off of yet another Chapman corner kick, bringing the
score back to 4-3.
But it was all about the Slugs as they held on for the remaining 4 minutes
as UCSC went on to seal their sixth straight victory.

Senior Captains lead Slugs to Victory

| KICKING
IN A 5TH STRAIGHT VICTORY: #15 Skye Vendt-Pearce. |
SANTA
CRUZ, CA -- Today's game proved to be another physical game between the
soccer programs of UCSC and CSU Hayward, as Hayward was battling for a win
that would move them ahead of Santa Cruz in the rankings. Having been
swept by Hayward last year, the Slugs were just as determined to win on
their home field. And it was the play of Senior captains Skye Vendt-Pearce
and Gina Ramirez secured the 5th straight victory for UCSC.
The Slugs jumped out to a quick lead, only 6 minutes into the game Hayward's
goalkeeper misplayed a pass back to her which ended up right to the feet
of a charging Skye Vendt-Pearce. With little time to react, Vendt-Pearce
was able to kick the ball between the keepers legs and got the fans on their
feet as the ball rolled past the goal line.
Vendt-Pearce's offensive prowess was far from over as she scored again in
the 61st minute, beating 2 defenders in the box and putting it beyond the
goalie's reach. Four minutes later, Vendt-Pearce assisted teammate and
co-captain Gina for her 3rd goal on the season and 3rd and final goal of
the game. After a stagnant first half, Hayward did turn on the offensive
pressure in the second half, but the Slugs back line held strong and goalkeeper
Katie Loomis racked up 5 saves.
With a week and a half off, the Slugs have to remain focused for their
next game against DIII Independent and No. 12 ranked team in the country,
Chapman University. The Slugs will face Chapman at home on Friday October
8th at 2pm.

No Mercy for the Dominican Penguins
SANTA CRUZ, CA -- Yesterday
marked the first day of classes here at UC Santa Cruz, and the UCSC Womens
soccer team (6-2-1) showed what it means to be a DIII student-athlete.
With the beginning of the school year comes a lot of chaos, but the Slug
women were able to step out on that field with nothing but focus. Lead
by the experience and determination of the upperclassmen, it was Junior
Lauren Philibosian that got the Slugs off to a quick start. She
scored 2 unassisted goals, the first coming in the 14th minute her second
goal came a mere two minutes later. From that point on, the Dominican
Penguins were on their heels as the Slugs took 18 total shots on goal.
In the second half, it was Senior Captain Gina Ramirez that started
things off for the Slugs, after a Dominican defender deflected the ball
Ramirez was in the box to put one in the near side past the Penguins goalie.
The next goal in the 76th minute showed how well this team has been clicking
together as the Slugs used perfect ball movement to bring it up the right
side of the field setting up Sophomore Claire Gustafson for her
3rd assist this season. Gustafson sent a perfect cross from the corner
over to Caitlin Carpenter, who headed it into the back of the net
for her 5th goal this year.
The Dominican defense simply had no answers for the Slug offense.
Claire Gustafson was able to get another assist only a minute and a half
later when she set up Senior Captain Skye Vendt-Pearce from about
20 yards out as Vendt-Pearce drilled one past the Dominican back line
into the upper left corner of the goal. It was an amazing shot
that put an exclamation point on the 5-0 victory and the Slugs
4th straight win, sixth on the season.
If you missed the action yesterday be sure to come out and support
your Slugs from the sideline as the UCSC womens soccer team takes on
CSU Hayward (2-2-3) Wednesday at 3pm.

Caitlin Carpenter Unstoppable in Oregon
DIII INDEPENDENTS -- Caitlin
Carpenter provided all of the offense for UC Santa Cruz in two out-of-state
road victories, including an upset of a Top 10 ranked opponent, and has
been named the Association of Division III Independents women's soccer
Player
of the Week, as the Slugs (5-2-1) sweep the weekly soccer awards.
Carpenter notched three goals in three games for UCSC. In a 1-0 upset of
No. 10 ranked Willamette University in Salem, Oregon on September 17, she
tallied the game's only goal 23 minutes into the contest, as UCSC prevailed
1-0. The upset ended Willamette's 74-game home unbeaten streak that had
lasted more than seven seasons. Two days later, she scored two unassisted
goals for the Slugs in a 2-1 double-overtime triumph against Linfield College
in McMinnville, OR. She originally gave UCSC a 1-0 lead in the 31st minute,
before notching the game-winner in the 100th minute.

Slugs Invade Oregon
SALEM, OR -- The Slug Women's
Soccer team has traveled over 2,500 miles in the past week playing a total
of 5 games in 8 days. Most of those miles came from this past weekend
when the Slugs went up to Oregon to play against Willamette and Linfield.
And if there was to be an upset victory in the Slugs' schedule this year,
Willamette was the one. Home of former Athletic Director Mark Majeski,
Willamette's numbers going into the game were intimidating; they were
the #10 ranked team in the country - the highest ranking team on this
year's schedule.
On Friday afternoon, the Slugs arrived at a field with unfamiliar weather
conditions and a home-field advantage that helped the Bearcats win 74
straight games. (That's over 7 seasons of undefeated soccer on that field!)
And it took our Slugs only 23 minutes to break that streak as Claire
Gustafson set up Caitlin Carpenter for the game's only goal.
The Slug defense, anchored by Paige Alumbaugh, Ivy Whitford,
Megan Cox, and Rachel Maxwell-Jolly kept it tight for the
remaining 67 minutes of play while the Bearcats went on to outshoot the
Slugs 12-9. Freshman keeper Katie Loomis' 4 saves on the game
helped seal the deal as the Slugs went on to upset the Bearcats 1-0, this
was the 4th shutout for Loomis.
The Slugs went on the play Linfield College on Sunday afternoon where
Carpenter was unstoppable, scoring the only 2 UCSC goals -- the first
coming in the 31st minute and the second coming in double overtime, where
Carpenter broke a 1-1 tie to give the Slugs their 3rd straight victory.
The Slug defense held strong once again and Katie Loomis had another 4
saves, bringing her to 36 on the season.
A great road trip for the Slugs, it was a complete team effort as the
Slugs came together and believed in each other for two big wins on the
season. With a record of 5-2-1, the Slugs have now moved up into
the NSCAA rankings as they hold the #8
spot in the West Region.

Slugs to Face #10 in Nation
SANTA
CRUZ, CA -- After an upset by Lewis & Clark College (2-0-1) on Sunday,
the Slugs left for their second of three L.A. trips to face Cal Lutheran.
Taking just 9 shots in the game, Lauren Philibosian was able to
setup Michelle Sharman for the games only goal at the 33-minute
mark. This was the second loss for Cal Lu (0-2-0) as the Lancers were
unable to finish on their 17 shots on goal, UCSC goalkeeper Katie Loomis
was credited with saving 6 of those 17 shots. UCSC's record now moves
up to 3-2-1.
Today the Slugs packed up their gear for a long road trip up to Oregon,
first stopping in Salem where the Slugs will face Willamette (#10 in Nation,
#2 in West Region), one of the toughest teams on this year's schedule.
The Slugs will then have a day of rest and drive up to Portland where
they will compete against Linfield College (0-2-1). With 2 wins already
coming from road games, the Slugs look to build on their momentum from
Monday's win with them to Oregon.
UCSC's next home game is Thursday September 23rd at 2pm where they
will be defending their home field against Dominican College -- Come out
and support your Lady Slugs!!

UCSC Women's Soccer loses in Regionals; Chapman, Puget Sound advance
UCSC -- The UCSC Women's Soccer
team saw its season end on Saturday, as the host team for the NCAA Western
Regionals.
The host Banana Slugs saw their
season end Saturday despite playing a gritty match against visiting Chapman,
losing on penalty kicks, 4-3 with the score tied at 1-1.
Chapman's Alyce Perry started
the scoring in the first half, and UCSC Junior Midfielder Karen Nycz was
able to answer in the second to send the game into overtime. Two 10-minute
overtime periods were unable to determine a winner, and so the game went
to penalty kicks.
After going up 1-0 in the first
frame, UCSC missed back-to-back kicks and Chapman capitalized to end UCSC's
run.
Earlier in the day, Puget Sound
would soundly defeat Claremont Mudd-Scripps, 4-0.
The Logger's Courtney Kar came
off the bench to score two goals and Elizabeth Pitman and Victoria Trotta
each added a goal.
Puget Sound will meet Chapman
on Sunday for the right to advance to the quarterfinals. Game time is
set at 1:00 pm at the Lower East Field.
Despite UCSC's loss, this season
has included some tremendous achievements for the UCSC Women's Soccer
team. The team made the postseason for the third time in four years, and
this was the first time ever UCSC has hosted an NCAA Soccer Regional Championship.
On October 10, a school record was set as the team blew out Menlo College,
20-0. It was both the most goals scored in team history and the largest
margin of victory. The team developed many excellent young players, including
Freshman Forward Caitlin Carpenter, who started every match of the season,
and Freshman Kara Deyhle, who by the end of the season had been named
the team's starting goalkeeper.
Though it will lose several
key players to graduation, the future of the program has only become stronger.
