Long Beach State’s women’s soccer squad extended its unbeaten start to the 2025‑26 campaign with a 3‑0 victory over Weber State on Saturday, preserving a perfect defensive record that now spans five consecutive shutouts.
The win not only marked the team’s fifth straight clean sheet but also placed the 49ers among just two programs nationwide that have yet to surrender a goal in their first five matches, underscoring the defensive cohesion cultivated under longtime head coach Mauricio Ingrassia.
Ingrassia, who has helmed the program for 23 years, brings a legacy of Big West titles and deep NCAA Tournament appearances to every season, and his current squad appears to be carrying that tradition forward with disciplined backline play and relentless pressure.
Offensive contributions came from senior forward Cherrie Cox, who netted twice to bring her season tally to six goals — matching her total from the previous year — while sophomore Amaya Sanles earned her first start and helped the team log a program‑record 450 minutes without a goal.
Midway through the first half, the team outshot Weber State 9‑1, a disparity that set the tone for a dominant performance that saw sophomore Kailey Supa seal the result with her second goal of the season.
Looking Ahead
The 49ers will next test their mettle on Thursday, July 17, when they host Portland at George Allen Field, kicking off at 7 p.m. The upcoming clash promises another opportunity for the defense to extend its historic shutout streak.
