Titans
Clinch Title, NCAA Berth with Win over UCSB Nov. 4, 2001 Santa Barbara, Calif. Box Score Cal State Fullerton's Tennli Ulicny scored a goal 42 seconds into Sunday's Big West Conference match at UC Santa Barbara and the Titans went on to an easy 5-2 win, clinching at least a share of the Big West title and an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament. After watching the Titans (12-6 overall, 7-1 in conference) jump to a quick lead, UCSB (10-7-1, 6-2) started to pressure Fullerton goalkeeper Laura Janke, but with less than ten minutes gone in the match, Gaucho freshman forward Jen Borcich, the Big West's leading scorer with 11 goals and seven assists, suffered an injured left wrist. She left the match and did not return. From that point on, it was all Cal State Fullerton. The Titans made it 2-0 at half on a goal by Kelllie Cox at the 25:21 mark. They continued the assault in the second half, with Kim Houg scoring at the 55:46 mark, and Michele Bannister notching one at the 59:08 mark, making it 4-0 Titans. UCSB got one back at the 60:59 mark on a goal by Kathryn Fox, but Fullerton responded at the 74:45 mark on a goal by Jenny Mescher. The Gauchos scored the last goal of the match at the 83:09 mark when freshman Krystal Sandza pounded hom the rebound of a free kick from Jen Codington.
