CARLSBAD, Calif. – For the first time since 2019, the OUAZ women's soccer team opened a new season with a win after picking up a 3-1 win at Saint Katherine on Thursday afternoon at Aviara Community Park.

Saint Katherine (0-1) pulled even in the 32nd minute with a goal from Ceirra Little. However, just 11 seconds later, Paige Murray-Hernandez put the Spirit back in front when she notched her 19th career goal on a feed from Haley Chitwood.

The final strike of the game for the Spirit came on a penalty kick from Anabella Bara in the 79th minute.

OUAZ ended the afternoon with a 22-11 advantage in total shots, with the Spirit putting 10 of those chances on goal. They also took three corner kicks while allowing two.
