MORAGA, Calif. -- The woodwork wasn't kind to the Gaels today but junior Hannah Diaz scored when it counted as Saint Mary's defeated Cal State Bakersfield 1-0 in an overtime exhibition contest in Saint Mary's Stadium.
Saint Mary's players watched helplessly as the post or crossbar prevented five shots (four coming in the final 55 minutes) from crossing the goal line. Samantha Dion, Hannah Diaz, Jasmine Edwards and Jordyn Cunningham each saw solid efforts on frame denied by the woodwork.
Saint Mary's ended-up outshooting CSUB by a 21-10 margin, despite the Roadrunners controlling much of the first half and grabbing an early offensive edge.
