Fullerton Defeats UC Riverside 2-1 at Titan Stadium

FULLERTON, Calif. – Cal State Fullerton men's soccer defeated UC Riverside by a final score of 2-1 Wednesday night at Titan Stadium to secure three points in the standings. 

With the win the Titans improve to 6-4-5 on the year and 3-1-1 in conference play and move into second place in The Big West standing with 10 points. Cal State Bakersfield is currently in first place with 11 points. 

After failing to convert throughout a majority of the first half, the Titans broke through in the 44th minute of play on a stellar goal by Mario Carlos to give the team a 1-0 advantage just before halftime. Carlos is tied for a team-high with four goals on the year. 

Fullerton carried its late half momentum into the second half, taking the game to UC Riverside in the early minutes out of the locker room. Freshman defender Lucien Wa Bwanda capitalized on the momentum with his first collegiate goal in the 52nd minute to extend the lead to 2-0. 

The Titans had several quality chances throughout the rest of the game to extend the lead even further but were unable to find the back of the net. 

UC Riverside made the game interesting in the final minutes, scoring in the 88th minute on a deflected shot that snuck past the Titans goalkeeper. 

Fullerton ultimately found the stops it needed to secure the win over the Highlanders and capture three points at home. 

The Titans hit the road this weekend to face first place Cal State Bakersfield Saturday night. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
