Traylor Scores Twice as Lady Mustangs Blank Soka, Advance to GSAC Final

Maddy Traylor scored twice and The Master's University women's soccer team shut out Soka 4-0 in the GSAC Championship semifinals Friday afternoon in Santa Clarita.

The Lady Mustangs (14-1-3) extended their unbeaten streak and advance to the GSAC Championship match against Embry-Riddle, with the conference's automatic berth to the NAIA National Championship on the line. TMU tied Embry-Riddle during the regular season but defeated them in a penalty kick shootout to win the GSAC Tournament title back in 2025.

TMU controlled play from the opening whistle but needed nearly half an hour to break through. Soka goalkeeper Jazlynn Camacho turned away Traylor and Siennah Nelson early. In the 30th minute, Katie Trinh found Traylor, and the two-time GSAC Player of the Year finished for a 1-0 lead.

Breanna Fajardo doubled the advantage in the 43rd minute with an unassisted goal, sending the Lady Mustangs into halftime up 2-0.

TMU put the game away in the first 11 minutes of the second half. Zaria Echemendia set up Traylor for her second goal of the day in the 49th minute. Six minutes later, GSAC Freshman of the Year Taya Pickup assisted on Jane Hato's goal for a 4-0 lead.

Traylor finished with two goals on 10 shots, five of them on target, and now has 24 goals this season. Trinh, Echemendia and Pickup each added an assist. Pickup played all 90 minutes on the back line and had two shots of her own.

GSAC Newcomer of the Year Katie Snow anchored another clean sheet for the GSAC's strongest defense, making four saves before Natalia Ramirez came on to close out the shutout. Soka managed just seven shots, four on goal.

TMU outshot Soka 23-7, put 10 shots on target and held a 4-0 edge in corner kicks.
