Cal State Fullerton forward Kandace Wilson (Walnut, CA/Walnut HS) broke out of a scoring slump in a big way as she tallied four goals in two matches, earning her Big West Women’s Soccer Player of the Week accolades.
Wilson recorded a pair of two-goal matches as the Titans knocked off two previously unbeaten teams in Big West play. The junior scored two unassisted goals in a 3-1 win over Pacific on Friday. Against first place Cal State Northridge on Sunday, Wilson struck again for two tallies, including the game-winner 16 seconds into overtime to give Fullerton the 3-2 win. Wilson also scored on a header in the 77th minute to give the Titans a 2-0 lead in the match. Fullerton snapped a six-match winning streak by the Matadors.
Wilson, who had been scoreless since posting a hat trick versus Fresno State on August 29, upped her career goals total to 24 and moved her into a tie for second on the Titan all-time list. She also is tied for second on the school’s all-time list with 54 career points. Wilson leads the team with seven goals on the season.
