Historic Start: Broncos Reach 400 Wins, Stay Perfect at 9-0

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Cal Poly Pomona extended its undefeated run with a 2-0 win on the road against San Francisco State on Sunday afternoon. The victory marked a major program milestone as the Broncos earned their 400th all-time win. Now sitting at 9-0 on the season, Cal Poly Pomona is off to its best start in program history. The Broncos also improved to 2-0 in CCAA play and continue to hold the top spot in the national rankings.

The match began with high energy from the Broncos, who wasted no time putting pressure on the Gator defense. In the seventh minute, Vanessa Cruz opened the scoring with a composed finish, giving Cal Poly Pomona an early 1-0 lead. Less than two minutes later, Cruz turned provider when she assisted Ally Henry in the eighth minute. Henry calmly slotted home her shot to double the lead and give the Broncos full control of the match.

Cal Poly Pomona dominated possession and created consistent chances throughout the match, finishing with 19 total shots, including nine on target. On the defensive end, the Broncos were rock-solid, limiting San Francisco State to just five shots and no corner kicks across the full 90 minutes. Jenna Tetrault started in goal and recorded two saves before being subbed out in the 70th minute. Parker LaMont came in to finish the match and made one save to preserve the clean sheet. The shutout marks Cal Poly Pomona's fifth of the season.

Several players stood out in the win. Vanessa Cruz led the way offensively with two shots on goal, one goal, and one assist. Ally Henry added a goal of her own and was a constant presence in midfield. Kiarra D'Arcangelo had four total shots, three of them on goal, while Georgia Rink added three shots and was active throughout her 50 minutes on the pitch. The Broncos also saw strong contributions from their bench, with several key players coming in to maintain the tempo and defensive organization.
