Cal State Fullerton Spoils Highlanders' Senior Day, 3-1
11/8/2008 7:39:00 PM | Men's Soccer
UC Riverside honored the three members of the men's soccer team's senior class Saturday afternoon at the UCR Soccer Stadium prior to their match with Cal State Fullerton. Unfortunately for David Watson (Riverside, CA), Aaron Hunter (Pomona, CA), Joel Crompton (Pleasanton, CA) and their assembled family and friends, the Titans spoiled the afternoon winning the final match of the season for both teams, 3-1.
Cal State Fullerton (5-14-1, 2-7-1) picked up the first goal of the match with just over 29 minutes gone in the first period when Nick Posthuma stole the ball at the top of the Highlanders' box slotting the ball past UC Riverside (4-15-1, 1-9-0) keeper Ryan Schmitz.
That score held up through the first half, but with 11:11 gone in the second, the Titans struck for their second goal of the day as Jose Gomez and Shay Spitz connected on a give-and-go that resulted in Spitz's fourth goal of the season. Less than two minutes later, Fullerton made it 3-0 as Jacob Shumway slotted a ball from midfield between Highlanders defenders that Ryan Kaylor turned into a one-on-one opportunity and his first goal of the year.
The game took a physical turn the remainder of the way with the Titans picking up two yellow cards and a red, and the Highlanders collecting a yellow card of their own. Cal State Fullerton's red card came with just under 25 minutes remaining, giving UCR a man advantage the rest of the way. The Highlanders finally converted with 2:22 left in the match as Doug Thrasher found Michael Galland for his first goal of the season.
