SAN BRUNO, Calif. — The San Francisco State women's soccer team moved to .500 with a 1-0 non-conference victory over Holy Names on Wednesday afternoon.

San Francisco State (3-3-0) outshot the Hawks (1-4) 18-2 and held a 6-0 corner kick advantage.

First Half

Monique Ponce's goal in the 19th minute was all the Golden Gators needed to hand the Hawks their fourth consecutive loss. A free kick by Janessa Staab was saved by goalkeeper Alyssa Lopez but Lopez wasn't able to hold on and Ponce fired the rebound in for the score. Holy Names' first-half opportunity came in the 32nd minute but Nicki Rucki smothered the ball for the save.
  

Second Half

Holy Names pushed forward as time wound down. It resulted in a shot in the 80th minute that Rucki saved. A yellow card on Jocelyn Reyes in the final minutes negated a potential Holy Names goal.
