POMONA, Calif. – After securing a double-overtime road win on Sunday, the Cal Poly Pomona women's soccer team looks to build on the momentum with a pair of home matches this week.

Senior midfielder
Hailey James, a Glendale native, proved to be the hero on Sunday in Arcata as her header in the 105th minute lifted CPP to a 2-1 win over the Jacks.
Despite playing shorthanded at that point in the match, CPP didn't back away from its pursuit of the victory.
Hannah Havelind sent a strong header that was punched out by the HSU goalkeeper. The rebound chance deflected to James, who knocked in a header for the game winner.
Broncos' netminder
Ricki Ives collected a season-high eight saves on Sunday. She is now at No. 9 on the CPP all-time leaderboard for career saves with 145. Sunday's win also marked the first CCAA victory for first-year head coach
Jay Mason.
