With just one loss between the two teams prior to Friday's match, the Folsom Lake and Santa Rosa women's soccer teams were ready for a close battle. As it turned out, a single defensive miscue was the difference in the game as Santa Rosa managed a late first-half goal and hung on for a hard-fought 1-0 victory. The Falcons kept pressuring the Bear Cub defense, including two shots that hit the post, but could not break through. The loss drops the Falcons' record to 1-1 in Big 8 play (6-1 overall). Looming large is Tuesday's showdown with undefeated Diablo Valley (7-0, 2-0 in Big 8) in Pleasant Hill.
