Sophomore Sydney Yates, a Vista native, scored the game's only goal on Tuesday night in Azusa. Dribbling up the left side and past a Cougars' defender, Yates lifted a close-range shot over the head of APU goalkeeper Sarah Klinkenberg and into the back of the net. That score came at the 14:58 mark and it held up as the eventual game winner. It marks the first goal of the year for Yates and the fourth of her CPP career.
