YORK - Two minutes before half Justine Medina (SR/Fontana, Calif) bent her corner kick close enough that it sliced toward the goal and bounced in as a Friends University Falcon defender tried to clear it out. That goal ended up being the game-winner as the Panthers defense held strong the entire second half.

York College had their hands full all game as they fought hard against the KCAC leading Falcons. The defense stepped up big as Cassandra Martinez (SR/Madera, Calif) had seven saves on the day. She was helped by a phenomenal backline that blocked two shots as well.

Chailey Bollens (SO/Trabuco Canyon, Calif) played strong from the outside as she ripped two shots from deep to keep the Falcons on their heels. Jazmine Pineda was credited with the other shot on goal for the Panthers.

York improves to 4-4 in conference play as they handed Friends their first conference loss of the season.

York travels to Oklahoma Wesleyan this Saturday for a 1:00 p.m. match.
