SEASIDE — (Sept. 15) Jessica Hewins nailed a penalty kick in the 35th minute of play, giving Humboldt State's women's soccer team a 1-0 victory over CSU Monterey Bay in California Collegiate Athletic Association action Friday.

The Lumberjacks improve to 5-3 overall and even 2-2 in conference play. The Otters remain winless in seven games with the shutout loss.

“It was a decent result,” said HSU head coach Andy Cumbo. “We're glad to get the win and to get the shutout.”
  
Humboldt continued to struggle offensively, creating just six shots while Monterey Bay took nine shots.

“Our defense was really organized and we limited (Monterey Bay's) chances,” said Cumbo. “But we still didn't get a lot of opportunities on offense.”

Humboldt goalkeepers Staci Self and Kelly Sandberg were both strong in goal, recording two saves each in their respective 45 minutes of action.

The Lumberjacks travel to San Francisco State Sunday for 3:00 p.m. kickoff.
