Cougars Advance to CCAA Championship Game with 1-0 Win Against LA

SEASIDE, Calif. – The second-seeded Cal State San Marcos women's soccer team (10-2-6) is headed to the championship game of the CCAA Tournament for the very first time as the Cougars earned a 1-0 win over third-seeded Cal State LA (9-2-8) in Friday's semifinal game at Cardinale Stadium on the campus of Cal State Monterey Bay.
