Fullerton (12-2-4, 5-0-3 Big West) was in control throughout the first half and created numerous chances but The Matadors (11-6-3, 5-3 Big West) took the lead at the 42:54 mark off a defensive blunder for the Titans. CSF had 11 shots and four were on target while also winning seven corner kicks but could not find the goal.
The Titans continued the pressure in the second half and finally got the elusive goal in the 69th from Bennett, her 10th of the season. Senior midfielder Atlanta Primus and junior winger Callie Petrey-Juarez assisted on the play. That is the 12th assist of the season for Primus, the second-best total for a single season in school history.
