FRESNO, Calif. – The Fresno State women's soccer team hopes to keep its winning streak alive as it heads into a three-game homestand beginning this Friday at 7 p.m. PT as the Bulldogs host the Pacific Tigers at the Fresno State Soccer and Lacrosse Field, where fans can enjoy We Heart Soccer Night with trivia and giveaways as we celebrate the sport of soccer.

The 'Dogs (2-3) return home after a pair of road victories against Portland State (4-3) and UC Davis (1-0) last weekend, led by freshman forward Julia Glaser, who was named Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week on Monday after scoring two goals, including the game-winner in the 89th minute against UC Davis.

Fresno State meets the Tigers (0-4) for the first time since 2009, when Pacific got the better of the Bulldogs in a 3-1 win in Stockton, Calif. The Tigers lead the all-time series 9-3-2 with Fresno State's last win coming in 2004 (2-1) in Fresno.

The match will be streamed live on the Mountain West Network and broadcast on 1600 AM ESPN Deportes.
