AZUSA, Calif. – Not much could have gone better on Thursday evening.

From the opening kick the Cougars were in control during their 4-0 win against Cal State Monterey Bay as they posted their first win of 2016.

Azusa Pacific recorded a 13-2 edge in overall shots, with a 6-2 advantage for shots on frame. The home team created six corner kick opportunities while the Otters took just one.

Kelsey Bushman scored her first collegiate goal in fine fashion. Just after the opening kick, fellow first-year Emile Allum controlled the ball at the midfield circle and fed the ball to Bushman who took several dribbles before ripping a shot that tickled the twine. The goal, which came 21 seconds into the game, is believed to be the fastest under 16th year head coach Jason Surrell.

Azusa Pacific got some breathing room on the scoreboard later in the first half. Lindsey Ryals blasted a shot off a rebound from her initial free kick from 25 yards out for a 2-0 lead in the 32nd minute. Stephanie Lossau gave her team a three-goal cushion in the 40th minute. Casey Thompson assisted on the play with a nice cross into the box.

Hayley Williamson wrapped up the scoring with her first goal since her freshman campaign. She headed home a nice corner kick from Bushman in the 60th minute.

In front of the cage Sarah Klinkenberg had two make two saves to post her 21st career shutout.

The Cougars look to run their unbeaten streak to three games on Saturday evening when they host Cal State L.A. at 5:00 p.m.
