A goal by Amanda Diesen off a corner kick and another by K.J. Hornibrook on a breakaway gave #9 Westmont Women's Soccer (5-0-1) a 2-0 victory over Southern Oregon (2-2-1) on Saturday afternoon at Thorrington Field.

"Another week of work put to good use," said Westmont head coach Kristi Kiely after the game. "We knew that Southern Oregon would be tough coming in, especially after they took The Master's to overtime on Thursday.

"We showed well, today, a lot of the things we have been working on. I am pleased with the team's effort and execution of the game plan from almost the start of the game. It took us five or ten minutes to get into it, but then we never let up."

Diesen's goal came in the twentieth minute. Courtney Stonesifer took a corner kick and placed the ball in front of the Raiders' goal. Diesen fended off a Southern Oregon defender to kick the ball into the back of the net.

In the thirtieth minute, three minutes after subbing into the game, Hornibrook stole the ball away from a Raider defensive player. She then broke for the goal; beating goalkeeper Kylie Moltzen to score her second goal of the season.

The Warriors' defensive efforts played a significant role in the game as Westmont rarely allowed Southern Oregon an opportunity to score. The Raiders took only one shot and did not have a shot on goal.

"We were able to keep them out of their attacking third," said Kiely. "We did well to get in (toward the goal). I wish we could have finished a couple of more just for the sake of efficiency in our finishing, but I was very pleased with the team's effort.

"Tiffany (Dimaculangan) continues to dominate," added the coach. "It doesn't matter what the opponent does with her or who they stick on her, she is able to penetrate. The combination of Tiffany, Jenny (Martinez) and Sophia (Smati) was fantastic. Jenny executed one of her best games today. She was strong up top – laying the ball off and enabling us to do what we have worked all week on being able to do."

The Warriors has just one more non-conference game, which they will play on the road on Friday against Marymount (2-2). Located in Rancho Palos Verdes, the Mariners are in their third year of women's soccer competition. Friday's game will be placed at the StubHub Center in Carson beginning at four o'clock.
