BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Junior Chloe Williams lit up the scoreboard with two goals on Friday night in her best performance of the 2016 season, helping the Eastern Washington University soccer team to its fourth win, a 3-1 road victory against Cal State Bakersfield.

The Eagles' offense jumped off to a blazing start scoring two goals within the first six minutes of the match, and they never looked back, remaining in control for the entire first half. In the second minute, Williams nailed her second goal of the season and her first of the night on a pass from junior Aimie Inthoulay.

It did not take long for junior Savannah Hoekstra to get in on the action, sink her fourth goal of the season thanks to a pair of passes from junior Lexi Klinkenberg and Inthoulay.

Although the Roadrunners opened the second half with a goal of their own in the 48^th minute, Eastern was not going to let its two goal lead disappear. Just one minute later, Williams scored her second goal of the season and secured what would be the final tally between the two teams.

Bodnar Bites
"Our kids played very well in the attacking third in the first 20 or 25 mins tonight. We had some chances to really jump on them except for some incredible saves by their goalkeeper in the first half.  I thought we responded really well after conceding to go up two goals again. Our group showed some resilience and fought through the final twenty minutes and I'm proud of them."

"Chloe was sharp tonight and I thought our backs did a good job covering each other and getting some important blocks on shots.  It's a great start to a long trip and we are happy with the result."

What's Next
The Eagles continue their stay in California, playing Saint Mary's on Sunday, September 11 starting at 2:30 p.m. PST.
