The Cal Poly women's soccer team fell to a 1‑0 defeat against Stanford on Sunday, a match that pitted the Mustangs against the nation's top‑ranked squad in San Luis Obispo.
Stanford's Charlotte Kohler broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute, slipping a precise finish past junior goalkeeper Shannon Porubski, who had started her 19th straight game.
Although outshot 4‑17, the Mustangs showed resilience; senior forward Annika Smith recorded her 33rd consecutive start, while freshman Madison Lujan unleashed a scorching effort that grazed the post, and standout performances from Sophia Minnite, Mya Clarke and Kate Nunes kept the pressure on.
Looking Ahead
The team now turns its attention to a home stretch that begins next Sunday, Aug. 23, when San Jose State visits Spanos Stadium for a 1 p.m. kickoff, preceded by a graduation ceremony that will honor four senior players.
