SAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- Azusa Pacific finished off the regular season on the road at Dominican on Saturday with a hard-fought match. Although the Cougars finished the match with more shots and possession, it was the Penguins that came out on top 1-0.

The Cougars outshot Dominican 6-2 in the first half, but were unable to find the back of the net. The Penguins, however, did bag a goal in the first half as Gabrielle Wampler scored in the 44^th minute. In the 45 minutes that followed, the match went back and forth with both teams having opportunities in possession and on goal. Azusa Pacific fired off another seven shots, but were unsuccessful in finding an equalizer. 

"While it certainly was not the result we wanted, our girls fought until the end," said head coach Brooke Lincoln, "there have been times this season when we have not played well, but their effort and fight did not waiver and for that I am proud of them."
