TURLOCK -- At the end of the last season, the tide turned on the Warriors when they lost to Sonoma State at home in the finale. That wasn't going to happen again in 2013 as the Warriors beat the Seawolves, 1-0, Sunday afternoon.

With the victory, No. 7 Cal State Stanislaus won the CCAA North Division and secured the top seed in the conference tournament, to be held on Nov. 8 & 10 on its home turf.

The Warriors remain unbeaten as they improved their program-best marks to 14-0-2 overall and 12-0-2 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.

Cal State Stanislaus will look to repeat its performance the last time the conference tournament was here at Warrior Stadium. In 2011, the Warriors captured the CCAA conference championships en route to a NCAA Championship appearance.

Next week, the Warriors host Humboldt State on Friday and Cal State East Bay on Sunday on senior day in the finale.

On Sunday against No. 20 Sonoma State, Karenee Demery's goal in the 12th minute turned out to the be only score needed in the division clincher. Demery received a long ball from Katelyn Nebesnick and dribbled around defenders and blasted a long shot to the bottom left corner of the net for goal.

With 19 goals this season, Demerey has tied her own school record that she set twice before. The sure-to-be four-time All-American has amassed 73 career scores, 28 assists for 174 career points at Cal State Stanislaus heading into the fnal regular season weekend.

The Warriors and the Seawolves tied 2-2 on Sept. 20 in Rohnert Park on a last-minute goal by Nebesnick. Stanislaus was more in control on Sunday, out-pacing the Seawolves 15-3 in shots (3-0 in shots on goal). It marked the 10th time this season that the defense has held opponents to two shots on goal or less -- and the fourth time with none.

Sonoma State, now 10-3-3, 8-3-3 CCAA, has also earned a berth in the conference tournament with 27 points and two matches to play. The Seawolves were held to a season low with three shots and none on-frame.

In the 2012 regular season finale, Sonoma State defeated Stanislaus, 2-1. The Warriors then lost in the CCAA semifinal match to UC San Diego in Carson and were left out of the NCAA West Regional tournament.
