The
Coyotes Go 7-1-1 on the Road to Start the Season
The
Number 13th
ranked CSUSB Coyotes won their fourth-straight match, all on the
road, on Sunday afternoon at Chico State, 3-0.
The
teams went to the half at zeros, but Gerardo
Flores took a long throw from
Brandon Sangbarani in the 51st minute
for the game winner. It was Flores again, his fifth goal of the
weekend, in the 58th minute off a free kick from Isaac
Balderrama. In the 83rd minute
Omari Mark finished Pedro
Arellano's slot pass from 12 yards out.
Each
team put five shots on goal, but Jacob
Huber and the Yotes' defense allowed
nothing. They have allowed just a single goal in the last four
matches and pitched eight shutouts this year.
"The
final score doesn't quite reflect how close this match was, as it was
a battle from start to finish," head coach Darren
Leslie said. "We were clinical in
a couple key moments from set pieces and put the game away with a
nice goal in transition while Chico was pushing numbers forward”.
“Outside
of Gerardo having another great game, our back line and Jacob stood
up to a massive test. Juan Larios was immense in the back and capped
off his performance with a goal saving clearance with the game in the
balance. We return now in good position to challenge for a CCAA
Title and we are focused and ready for the test on Thursday."
The
Coyotes will return home with a huge NCAA Top-25 matchup against Cal
State LA on Thursday at 12:30 pm. Live links are on
