BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA — Cal St. Dom. Hills claimed a crucial 1-0 victory over visiting Stanislaus St. on Friday, extending its winning streak to eight consecutive matches.

Briseno capitalized on early momentum when he found the back of the net with an assist from Alpha Sowe, giving the hosts an advantage they would not relinquish. The goal came during a period when Cal St. Dom. Hills controlled the opening exchanges, though Stanislaus St. quickly adjusted and began creating opportunities of its own.
The Warriors generated significant attacking chances, particularly in the second half. Stanislaus St. recorded 15 shot attempts compared to Cal St. Dom. Hills' five, yet the home team's goalkeeper Keegan O'Brien proved instrumental in preserving the lead.

Stanislaus St. pressed aggressively throughout, earning four corner kicks to Cal St. Dom. Hills' one.
