Opening Weekend in the CCAA
Entering their first weekend of CCAA competition without a victory and with just two draws in hand, the Cougars made quite a first impression on their new conference. On Friday in the opener against CSUSB, the Cougars earned a point with a 1-1 draw thanks to Amy Wilson's first career goal.  On Sunday against Cal Poly Pomona, which was picked to finish third in the CCAA, Natalie Lara and Paulina Good scored second-half goals to ensure a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over the Broncos.

CCAA Situation
The Cougars are tied for second in the conference standings with a 1-0-1 mark along with Stan State, San Francisco State, Sonoma State and CSUSB. The lone team to walk away with two wins was first-place Humboldt State. HSU's victories were impressive considering they came on the road at Cal State Dominguez Hills and CCAA-favorite Cal State L.A.

Stan State Preview
All-time vs. Stan State: 0-0-1

Last Meeting: T, 0-0 (Aug. 31, 2008); The Cougars were reduced to 10 players just before the half-time whistle, but did well to keep the Warriors scoreless for the final 65 minutes of the match. CSUSM increased its streak without giving up a goal to 290 minutes with the clean sheet.

Stan State Breakdown: Since dropping their opening game against Azusa Pacific, the Warriors have gone 5-0-1. Stan St. has yet to surrender a goal in CCAA play and is coming off a 1-0 victory over Cal State Monterey Bay. The Warriors have two of the top-five goal scorers in the CCAA,  Jordan Moineau (4) and Jade Poon (4).

Cal State East Bay Preview
All-time vs. CSUEB: 1-0-0

Last meeting: W, 3-0 (Oct. 11, 2008); Three first-half goals by CSUSM helped the Cougars coast to victory in Hayward. Cougar goalkeeper Kaycee Gunion posted six saves to keep the Pioneers off the board.

CSUEB breakdown: The Pioneers went 1-1 at home on opening weekend of CCAA play, taking down CSUMB before falling to San Francisco State 4-1. CSUEB's 14 goals surrendered this season are the most in the CCAA.

Notes
Allie Jara's 0.89 GAA is third-lowest in the conference … Sunday's come-from-behind victory was the Cougars' first since a 2-1 win over Southern Oregon on Sept. 8, 2014 … Good leads the team in shots and finally got her first goal since Nov. 14, 2014 … Her 15^th career goal puts her in fourth on CSUSM's all-time list and fourth on the all-time points list (35).

The Bobby Renneisen File
CSUSM head coach Bobby Renneisen, now in his second season as the man in charge, holds an 12-4-8 (.667) career coaching record. Renneisen spent eight years from 2006-2013 as an assistant on then-head coach Ron Pulvers' coaching staff at CSUSM.

New Conference
Cal State San Marcos is a part of the 13-team California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA), made up of 12 CSU institutions and UC San Diego. The CCAA is one of the premier NCAA Division II leagues in the nation. Its teams have won more national championships (153) than any other conference.

New Territory
After nine seasons of competition in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), the Cougars enter their first season of NCAA Division II competition in 2015. CSUSM is currently in the second year of a three-year transition to full NCAA Division II membership. As a part of the transition, the Cougars will be ineligible for postseason play in 2015 and 2016.
