Shaelan Murison scored her second goal of the match in the 85th minute, and the UCSB women’s soccer team picked up a huge Big West Conference win at UC Davis on Thursday afternoon.
Murison scored both goals for the Gauchos, who have won three consecutive matches and five of their last six to get to 6-3-3 overall and 2-0-0 in conference.
Murison now has 10 goals, equaling her team-high total from last season. The senior forward also struck in the 14th minute, when she connected on a 24-yard free kick to give the Gauchos a 1-0 lead. UCSB finished with a 19-10 advantage in shots and an 8-5 advantage in shots on goal.
Murison now has 27 career goals, which has her tied for eighth on the Gauchos’ all-time goal-scoring list.
“This was a typical difficult Big West road game,” UCSB coach Paul Stumpf said in a statement. “We played well in periods, but made a number of mistakes. Still, we’re coming home with the all-important three points.”
Senior goalkeeper Hanna DeWeese finished with four saves for the Gauchos, who travel to Cal State Northridge for their next match on Nov. 17.
