Brent Whitfield's goal three minutes into overtime Wednesday afternoon
gave Cal State Fullerton a 2-1 men's soccer victory at Cal State Northridge.
The win over the second-place Matadors (9-3-2, 3-2-1) was the second in
a row for the Titans (7-8-1, 3-4-0), who beat first-place UC Santa Barbara
at home on Saturday night.
Hector Orellana assisted on Whitfield's score, which was a chip shot over
goalkeeper Radames Lafaurie at 2:56 of overtime. The Titans tied the match
at 1-1 with about 18 minutes to play when Ignacio Cid scored his sixth
goal of the year and third in two matches. Eugene Brooks, who was a late
arrival due to a chemistry exam, assisted on the score.
Sam Reynolds got the win in the nets with 4 saves plus defender Jason
Ashurst bailed him out once. Northridge scored at 67:19 on a penalty kick
by Yossi Raz.
TheTitans go for three wins in a row, revenge for a recent loss at UC
Irvine and a .500 record on Saturday night when they host UCI at 7 p.m.
