WOMEN'S SOCCER: With a chance to secure a tie of the Pacific West soccer title, the Red Storm ran into a game Dominican (Calif.) University team at Hansen Stadium on Tuesday in St. George. An early second-half goal by the Penguins earned them a 1-0 win and ended an 11-game win streak in the Pac West for Dixie State.

Dominican (8-9-3, 6-6-2) has won three of their last four matches, including two away from home. The Penguins were outshot 15-5 in the match, but made the most of their opportunities making each of their shots at goal. Dixie State (12-4, 11-1) lost for the first time since Sept. 5 against West-region power UC San Diego.

Mallory Englehardt gave the Penguins the game-winner early in the second half with an unassisted goal into the right corner in the 53rd minute.
