Cal State Fullerton needed one more goal, and Cassie delivered it in the 87th minute to lift CSF past LMU, 2-1, in women’s soccer. Her shot went off the far upper 90 and gave the Titans the late lead they had been chasing after Sasha Amezcua’s penalty had put them in front earlier.
The result was posted at 7:19 p.m. ET on Aug. 23, 2026, making it a same-day finish that turned on a single late swing. CSF had already led 1-0 after Amezcua drilled a penalty in the 54th minute, but LMU found a way back into the match and left the Titans without a secure margin until Cassie struck near the end.
That sequence is what makes the win matter. A 2-1 score looks simple on paper, but it came after CSF had to answer a tied game with a shot that could not be recovered. In the span of 33 minutes between the penalty and Cassie’s finish, the lead changed from comfortable to fragile to decisive, and the final touch settled that shift.
The brief recap does not offer lineup changes, shot totals or any larger match detail beyond the two scoring plays, so the game’s shape has to be read through those moments alone. Amezcua’s finish opened the door. Cassie shut it. For CSF, that is the kind of late result that can travel with a team, because it shows a match can still be won when the first lead does not hold.
What remains unanswered is Cassie’s full name, even though her goal was the one that decided the night. What is clear is the outcome: CSF left with a 2-1 win over LMU, and the goal that made the difference came in the 87th minute.
