San Luis Obispo, CA—UC Riverside got goals from five different players as the Highlanders scored a season-high five goals in a 5-0 shutout victory over Cal Poly in a Big West Conference match Friday night at Mustang Stadium. The Highlanders snap a three-game losing streak to improve to 5-11-1, 3-5-0, while handing the Mustangs their tenth straight loss to drop them to 4-14-0, 0-9-0.
Three of Riverside's five goals came in the first half of play. Senior midfielder Scott Barnett got the ball rolling with his first goal of the season at the 11:53 mark. Senior forward Randy Poggio made it 2-0 with his fourth goal of the season in the 34th minute. Four minutes later, freshman forward T.J. Bombard scored his first career goal, putting Riverside in a 3-0 lead at the end of first half play.
UCR's offense did not slow down in the second half. Junior midfielder Mark Moreira recieved a pass from Randy Poggio in an open field to record his first goal of the season in the 57th minute. Eight minutes later, sophomore Zack Seale scored Riverside's fifth goal of the night, and the first of his collegiate career, off a penalty kick.
Making his second appearance in goal for Riverside, former midfielder Andrew Hills recorded seven saves for his first career shutout. One save went to the Highlander team. Jeremy Coupe and Tony Parenti combined for four saves in the loss.
The five goals is a season-high for the Highlanders and tied for the most in a single game at the Division I level. Coincidentally enough, UCR previously scored five goals in their last visit to San Luis Obispo, beating the Mustangs 5-4 on October 17, 2004.
