FULLERTON, Calif. – Cal State Fullerton men's soccer bounced back in a big way Wednesday night, defeating Sacramento State 3-1 at Titan Stadium to earn a much needed three points.
With the win the Titans improve to 7-5-5 on the year and 3-2-2 in Big West play to leave them tied for third place in the conference standings with 11 points.
After being shutout at home in their last game, the Titans came out looking to score a quick goal. Erick Serrano did just that in the 22nd minute to give the team much needed momentum. Serrano scored inside the box off a great assist from Mario Carlos to give Fullerton a 1-0 lead.
Just over two minutes later, Roberto Ordonez scored to extend the Titans lead to 2-0 early in the first half. Ordonez and Carlos played a great two-man game leading to the goal.
Fullerton stayed on the attack in the second half, looking to put the game out of reach. Sulaiman Bah earned a penalty kick in the 51st minute which he was unable to convert but followed his shot to easily put the ball in the back of the net.
Following an almost complete line change by both teams late in the second half, Sacramento State got on the board in the 81st minute off a corner kick to cut the Titans lead to 3-1.
The Titans hit the road for the final time this season to face first place UC Santa Barbara Saturday night at Harder Stadium. Kickoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
