Titans Hand New Mexico First Loss of Season Sept. 29, 2002 – Fullerton, Calif. Box Score
Senior David Dischner scored a pair of first-half goals and Cal State
Fullerton rode them to a 2-1 non-conference men’s soccer victory
Sunday afternoon over previously unbeaten New Mexico.
The win improved the Titans’ record to 3-4-1 while the Lobos fell
to 8-1.
What proved to be the decisive goal actually was headed into the Lobo
net by a NM defender with 36 seconds left in the first half. Dischner
put a head on a corner kick by Adriano Lima and is credited with the goal
on the errant clearing attempt. Dischner’s first goal came five minutes
earlier and was a blast from the top of the box off a rebound of a shot
by Brent Whitfield from the right corner.
New Mexico got its goal in the 85th minute when Eric Carlson headed a
shot near post on a corner kick from Junro Narita. Narita had a chance
to tie the match in the final minute but his shot from the top of the
box was just wide left.
Both goalkeepers — Sam Reynolds for the Titans and Andrew Weber for
the Lobos — recorded 4 saves as each team took 12 shots. The win
evened the all-time series between New Mexico and Cal State Fullerton
at 7 wins each.
