Shelton, a senior forward, scored one of Arcata’s seven goals and turned in a dynamic performance to lead the Tigers to the shutout victory.

“She hustled all over the field, and created some opportunities,” Arcata head coach Patrick Stranahan said of Shelton. “She really had a good game.”

So too did senior midfielder Karina Zumbrun, who has led the way for the Tigers this season, scoring a hat trick against the Warriors, her third hat trick of the season.
