  • Kalea Eichenberger, a true freshman out of Rancho Cucamonga and Etiwanda High School, helped the Roadrunners go an unbeaten 1-0-1 at home for the past week, through a 3-1 defeat of Cal Poly on Thursday night and a 1-1 draw against UC Santa Barbara on Sunday.
  • A forward, Eichenberger recorded her first collegiate two-goal brace in Thursday’s victory over the Mustangs. Eichenberger opened the scoring just 2:27 into the contest, and also capped it with an 84th-minute clincher, both times assisted by Regielly Halldorsdottir. Each of her two shots on the night, across 60 minutes of action, resulted in scores.
  • Eichenberger also began Sunday’s tilt with the Gauchos and played 51 minutes. The freshman has been in the starting 11 in 10 of her 12 appearances.
  • Eichenberger, a first-time Big West weekly honoree, now tops CSU Bakersfield with four goals on the season, and shares the team’s points lead with Halldorsdottir at nine apiece. The `Runners sit alone in second place with a 2-1-2 league ledger and eight total points.
