Fullerton Falls to UC Davis on Last Minute Goal

FULLERTON, Calif. – Cal State Fullerton men's soccer fell to UC Davis in its final regular season home game by a final score of 2-1 Saturday night. With the loss the Titans drop to 8-5-5 on the year and 5-2-1 in Big West play. 

Fullerton had a shot at locking up the Big West Regular Season Championship with UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine playing to a draw but came up short against the Aggies. The Titans are still tied for first place in the conference with UCSB at 16 points. 

UC Davis dominated the match from start to finish. The Aggies were the aggressor for much of the 90 minutes and played much more physically. Davis finished the game with 27 shots compared to the Titans who recorded ten.

Even with UC Davis controlling the tempo, the Titans took a one goal lead in the 24th minute of action on a brilliant goal by Ulises Grado for his fifth of the season, all coming in the last five matches. Matthew Sacristan assisted on the goal for his first points of the year. 

While playing in their defensive third for a majority of the match, the Titans still had opportunities to put the game away in the second half with great scoring chances but couldn't convert. 

Asger Hemmer stood on his head in net for the Titans to keep them in the game. Hemmer recorded five saves on the night including four in the first half. 

UC Davis had some misfortune, hitting the post multiple times before finally tying the game in the 78th minute. The Aggies went on to score the game-winning goal in the 90th minute of play after a cross found an unmarked man inside the six-yard box. 

The Titans head to UC San Diego for their regular season finale next Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
