Riverside—UC Riverside played to 1-1 tie in double overtime against Cal State Bakersfield at the UCR Soccer Stadium Friday afternoon. Senior Andrew Hills knocked in his first goal of the season for the Highlanders as UCR (3-2-2) played to tie for the second consecutive game after tying Sacramento State 2-2 earlier in the week.
The Roadrunners (2-3-2) got on the board just past the 41st on Javier Barba's goal into the top-left corner of the net. Barba made the shot off of a perfectly placed volley from Mike Ezparza that beat a diving UCR keeper, Charles Alamo for a 1-0 CS Bakersfield lead.
The Highlanders came out in the second half attacking the Roadrunner net, out-shooting CSUB 6-5 in the second half. Hills tied the game at 1-1 with a goal off of a perfectly placed crossing pass from senior Brandon Plummer at the 55:57 mark.
Things began to get heated between the two teams as time wound down in regulation and neither team could produce a go-ahead goal. Two yellow cards were handed out as a handful of players from both teams went face to face before the referees broke things apart. 41 fouls were called throughout the match.
UCR had a couple chances early in the first overtime period after sophomore Nathan Paterson got behind the Roadrunner defense but CSUB keeper Steve Trojanowski came out and forced Paterson out of striking position and the shot to go wide on two occasions.
Alamo made five saves and lowered his goals against average (GAA) to 1.14. Trojanowski also made five saves for CSUB.
The Highlanders next game is set for October 3 when UCR begins Big West play at UC Davis at 3 p.m.
