POMONA, Calif. – Sophomore Natalie Di Angelo, a top-notch defender, picked the perfect time for her third career goal.

Her header in the 84th minute off a corner kick proved to be the game winner, lifting Cal Poly Pomona women's soccer to a 2-1 victory over Stanislaus State on Friday at Kellogg Field. The assist came from Hailey James at the left corner.

The win pushes the Broncos up to fourth place in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) with a 4-2-1 mark in league play. CPP owns an overall record of 5-4-2. Meanwhile Stanislaus State drops to 7-4 overall and 1-4 through CCAA action.
