TURLOCK, Calif.--- Stanislaus State rebounded in style Sunday afternoon, edging Cal State Los Angeles (3-3-3, 0-2 CCAA) 1–0 at Warrior Stadium to even its CCAA record at 1–1–0 and improve to 5–2–2 overall. Junior forward Olivia Maragos scored the match's lone goal in the 29th minute, finishing a setup from Haylee Sousa to lift the Warriors to victory.

First half: The Warriors found their rhythm midway through the opening period after a balanced start. Maragos broke the deadlock in the 29th minute, slotting home Sousa's pass from the right flank to put Stanislaus State ahead 1–0. Goalkeeper Zara Mujica made two key stops in the half, including a diving save on a low shot from Cal State LA's Itzel Ramirez, as the Warriors carried their advantage into the break.

Second half: Cal State LA pushed forward with urgency, outshooting Stan State 10–3 over the final 45 minutes, but Mujica stood tall with five more saves to preserve the clean sheet. The Warriors' back line, anchored by Katie Smith and Shauna Johnston, absorbed late pressure and cleared multiple corners in the closing minutes to secure the result.
