Box Score

POMONA – Senior Mary Carroll made sure her Cal Poly Pomona career ended with a flourish. 

The Upland forward scored a career high and tied a school record with four goals – and delivered the game-winner on a penalty kick – as the host Broncos upset the Cal State San Bernardino Coyotes 4-3 in double overtime before 383 on a warm, fall afternoon in Southern California. 

The victory was huge as the Broncos played the role of spoiler and thwarted the Coyotes' hopes of a CCAA Tournament berth. The Coyotes needed a win or at least a tie to advance and a Cal State Dominguez Hills loss, but Carroll made sure of it with the winner in the game's 108th minute.
CSUDH advanced anyway with a victory over UC San Diego on Sunday. 

A hand ball was called on the Coyotes in the second OT and Carroll was handed the responsibility of the penalty kick. She made sure her final SOG in her career was a good one and the Broncos ended the 2009 campaign 10-10-0 overall and 6-10 in the CCAA. 

The Coyotes completed the regular season 10-8-2 and 9-5-2. 

Carroll began the day ranked sixth in career goals with 28 and sixth with career points with 67. Her four-goal day pushed her to a tie for second in goals with 32 (tied with Allison Thompson) and third in points with 75. 

Carroll put CPP on the board in the 12th minute when he drove up front after receiving the ball from senior Andrea Salerno and she pushed the ball past the left side of Coyotes GK Laura Lyons. 

Carroll's second came in the 27th minute on an unassisted goal. She drove the ball right down the middle and placed it over Lyon's head. 

The Coyotes answered with one of their own when Kristina Gomez scored her eighth goal of the season and second on the weekend series at the 42nd minute mark. Melissa Castillo got the ball to her teammate and Gomez went in all along against Broncos GK Nakisha Gutierrez. 

After halftime, Carroll gave CPP a 3-1 advantage in the 68th minute. Teammate Valerie Strawn drove on the left side and found Carroll, who had an opening on the right and scored. 

Two minutes later, Jenna Sanchez scored her first goal of the year off a corner kick from teammate Kelsey Gudgeon. 

CSUSB's Ashley Salas tied the game at 3-3 when she received a pass from Lindsey Witz and scored.
Gutierrez earned the victory for CPP with two saves. CPP out-shot the Coyotes 21-12 and had 13 SOG to CSUSB's five. 

The Broncos honored five seniors in a pregame ceremony – Carroll, Cody McClure, Bethany Meichsner, Gutierrez and Salerno.
