The Long Beach State women’s soccer team scored another last-second goal to steal all of the points in a Big West Conference matchup last Sunday at Cal State Fullerton.
With the score tied 1-1 in the 89th minute, a beautiful set piece play from Daria Petredes, Kaylee Ramirez, and Lena Silano gave LBSU (6-4-2, 3-0-1) the victory. Petredes fed Ramirez with a short pass on the near side, and Ramirez crossed it to Silano who scored her ninth goal of the season. She also scored the equalizer in the 56th minute.
