FULLERTON, Calif. - Cal State Fullerton women's soccer jumped out to a 3-0 lead for the second straight match but against UC Davis on Thursday night, they did not relinquish that lead and ended up winning 4-0 in the first Big West match of the season. Senior Atlanta Primus made history as she set the school record for assists in a career with her 20th and 21st assists. She also scored a goal of her own to lead the Titans to a 8-2-1 overall record and 1-0 in league play.
The Titans scored three goals in the first 32 minutes of the match as the front three of Primus (one goal, two assists), senior Maddie Bennett (one goal, one assist) and junior Haley Brown (one goal, two assists) were firing on all cylinders.
For the opener, Primus found Brown who then delivered the ball to Bennett as she ripped the shot for her eighth goal of the season. Bennett, the reigning Big West Offensive Player of the Week is now tied for the most goals in the league on the season.
