NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Summer Mason scored a pair of goals to help lead San Diego to a 2-0 victory at CSUN on Sunday afternoon at the Matador Soccer Field.

Mason struck early, scoring both of her goals in less than 20 minutes. She doubled her season goal total and now leads the team with four.

Mina Ghazizadeh assisted Mason's first goal, while Halle Walls provided the helper on the second.

Amber Michel made sure the Toreros (2-8) would remain ahead, making seven saves in the first half, including one on a penalty kick. It is the most saves Michel has made in a single half this season.

Michel's most impressive stop came in the 29th minute when the Matadors (4-3-4) were awarded a penalty kick. CSUN's, Lindsay Kutscher, stepped to the spot and sent a hard shot to the left side of the goal. Michel guessed correctly, got a hand on the ball and tipped it off the post to keep it out of the goal.


USD's defense took over in the second half and shut down the Matador's attack, permitting just two shots and neither on frame.

The Toreros will look to ride the momentum of the victory into next week as WCC play begins Friday at 6 p.m. (PT) at BYU.
