FULLERTON — College of the Canyons captured its first road win of the season, taking a 3-1 result at host Fullerton College on Friday.

The Cougars also saw Kennedy Crone and Emily Thompson net their first goals of the campaign, with sophomore Bailey Williamson adding to her team-leading point total with another score.

Crone put Canyons ahead in the 20th minute on a scoring touch that came by way of an assist from Sienna Salas.
