we drop both matches, low goal scoring - hopefully just a side effect of the early season play, but judging by shots and corners, we are not creating opportunities to score.

Cal State Fullerton Edges Liberty with Late Goal
August 21, 2015
Fullerton, Calif.
The Liberty women's soccer team looked to start the 2015 season off with a win, Friday night, squaring off with Cal State Fullerton in the opening round of the Fullerton Tournament. Each team went scoreless for over 84 minutes, until Titans midfielder Christian Burkenroad posted a late goal to give Fullerton the 1-0 win.
With the defeat at Titans Stadium, Liberty begins the year 0-1. Fullerton, the 2014 Big West champions, are off to a 1-0 start.
Burkenroad's goal in the 85th minute was set up by a Rebecca Wilson cross on the right side near the baseline. Wilson's cross went into the 18-yard box, allowing Sarah Fajnor to flick a pass to Burkenroad. The midfielder settled the ball on the left side of the box and fired a shot from 12 yards to clinch the contest.
Fullerton outshot Liberty overall, 14-6, and on goal, 7-4. The Titans also held a 7-3 advantage on corner kicks. Liberty sophomore forward Jennifer Knoebel paced the Lady Flames with three shots, two of which were on goal.
