POMONA, Calif. - Pomona defeated Humboldt 1-0 in the battle of the Cal Poly's in the first round of the NCAA West Regional. (Nov. 21).
 
Kiarra D'Arcangelo scored the game-winning goal in the 32nd minute. She received a pass from Abria Smith and lined up the shot from 22 yards away into the right side of the net.

The victory avenged the Broncos' loss last week in the semifinal round of the CCAA Soccer Tournament, in which they lost to the Lumberjacks 1-0.
 
Cal Poly Pomona, the defending NCAA Champions, will advance to the next round to face Simon Fraser on Sunday, Nov. 23, at 3 p.m. Cal Poly Humboldt completes its season with an 8-6-8 record and its first CCAA Tournament Championship.
