CHICO, Calif. – It was the second game in three days for the Fresno Pacific women's soccer team as they traveled to Chico State on Saturday. FPU fell 4-1, while Ana Paula Fraiz scored her first career goal for the Sunbirds.
 
QUOTABLE
"A tale of two halves," said interim head coach Jaime Ramirez. "We missed two very good opportunities to equal the score. The game was decided in the first half due to the level of intensity they showed, and we couldn't match. Three goals in a very short span. We made adjustments in the second half and played much better."
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Chico State led 1-0 after a tenth-minute goal, then scored three more from the 32nd to 35th minutes to take a 4-0 lead.
• FPU Freshman Ana Paula Fraiz scored her first career goal with a header in the 36th minute to cut the deficit to 4-1. Tori De Leon assisted the goal after winning the ball near the Wildcat endline and crossing it in front of goal to Fraiz.
