Successful Season in the Books

All But One Senior Return for 2006

November 7, 2005

LONG BEACH, CA-- The 2005 campaign for Long Beach State women's soccer (12-5-3, 3-3-1 Big West) will go down as a building block to the future in which a number of records were broken and a number of foundations were laid.The team started upwards of eight freshmen on the season, pulling off just its second win in school-history over a top-25 opponent (Cal Poly).

• First-ever national ranking (No. 25)
• First-ever regional ranking (as high as No. 10)
• First-ever Big West Tournament berth (seeded No. 3)
• Tied its highest-ever Big West finish (3rd)
• Tied school-record for wins (12)
• Longest winning streak (5)
• Top two crowds of all-time (CSF, UCSB)
• First winning season in two decades
• Set school-record for assists (29)
• Set school-record for goals against average (0.81), least goals allowed (17) and least shots allowed (186).
• Set school-record for shutouts (11)
• First-ever nationally ranked recruits (4 of them)
• First nationally ranked recruiting class (15th)

Individuals also re-wrote the single-season record books, with many of the following:

• First national players of the week (2)
• Modern-day record for goals (Silos-10)
• Modern-day record for assists (Bolt-8)
• Single-season record for shots (Bolt-70, Silos-68)
• Modern-day record for points (Bolt-25, Silos-22)
• Ramos set the single-season record for shutouts (10.5), minuts played (1779:45) and goals against average (0.66).
• Second and third-ever hat tricks (Romo, Silos)

The career charts also took a beating, as Bolt's 70 shots (8th) and Silos' 68 (9th) are in the top-10, as are their total goals of 10 (seventh) and eight (14th). Bolt's eight assists is ninth-best all-time, while Silos' 25 points is ninth-best as well. Ramos now has the school's best goals against average (0.66) and sixth-most minutes. Ramos' 10.5 shutouts is also a career-record.

Meghan Hartwyk (2002-05) the team's lone senior leaves the school third all-time in goals against average (1.35), third in shutouts (8), fourth in saves (95) and second in minutes (2532:53).
