Freshman forward Lisamarie La Vallee scored two goals in the second half and sophomore forward Kelly Law added another to give Sacramento State its first win of the season. The 3-1 victory over the University of California, Davis on Sunday gives Sac State a record of 1-1.

The only scoring in the first half was from UCD sophomore Sita Kuteira, who scored on a header off a corner kick in the 12th minute, giving the Aggies a 1-0 lead.

But the second half belonged to the Hornets.

In the 53rd minute, sophomore Marissa Condren found La Vallee who scored on a floater to the corner of the net that tied the game at 1-1.

It was LaVallee again in the 63rd minute. The freshman scored her second collegiate goal when junior Jenae Kee sent a well placed cross to La Vallee, who shot a header passed diving UCD goalkeeper Krystyn Lizak, giving the Hornets a 2-1 lead.

In the 82nd minute freshman midfielder Maggie Murphy found Law, who sprinted by two Aggies and sent a shot into the left corner of the net, giving the Hornets a 3-1 lead and sealing the victory.

“We stepped it up from our last game,” La Vallee said afterwards. “We got better runs off the ball and a lot more opportunities for our forwards.”

Sac State opened its season on Friday with a tough 2-1 loss against Navy. With the score tied 0-0 at halftime, junior forward Katie Eames put Navy on the scoreboard in the 65th minute.

Among a sea of Hornet defenders, Eames placed a shot in the back of the net off a wild deflection, to put Navy ahead 1-0.

Navy senior forward Stacy Finley added to the lead with a goal from the wing in the 76th minute to make it 2-0.

Sac State fought back in the final minutes. In the 89th minute, sophomore midfielder Linda Sanchez scored on a rocket from the wing, cutting the lead to 2-1.

Another shot in the 89th minute, by sophomore forward Mandi Siller, missed just wide of the right post.

“We started off slow and we didn’t get organized early enough,” Sac State head coach Karen Hanks said. “We battled, but our key players didn’t play well.”Hornet defenders had their hands full with Navy attackers and all the lucky bounces seemed to go Navy’s way.

“(Sac State) did a good job of attacking our sets … both of our goals weren’t great goals,” Navy head coach Carin Gabarra said. “We did well in possession and our back four played very strong.”

Freshman goalkeeper Stephanie Shaw was impressive in her college debut, with a game-high 11 saves against Navy, including several in traffic. She posted seven saves against Davis.

The Hornets will take their 1-1 record to Fresno State for their next game Saturday at 7 p.m. The Bulldogs have a record of 1-1, after a 3-1 loss to No. 12 Tennesse and a 3-1 win over No. 25 UNC-Charlotte.
