Big West Men's Soccer Reaches Midpoint With Saturday Match vs. Cal Poly
10/16/2009 11:14:10 AM | Men's Soccer
The UC Riverside Men's Soccer Team returns home for its next two matches as the Big West Conference season reaches its midway point. First up is a Saturday, October 17 tilt against Cal Poly beginning at 7 pm PT. Tyler Wilson (pictured) leads the Highlanders in scoring entering the match with the Mustangs with five points.
GAME NOTES
THE REPLACEMENTS
The Highlanders, who scored 22 goals during the 2008 season, will need to replace the offensive production of their leading scorer from a year ago, Joel Crompton (8 goals, 1 assist, 17 points) who finished his UCR career ranked tied for second in career points and fourth in goals scored. Eight other Highlanders dented the back of the net in 2008 led by Cesar Diaz's four goals, Robert Cate's three and Nathan Paterson's two.
This season, six different members of the Highlanders have goals to their credit with Tyler Wilson and Cesar Diaz leading with two goals apiece.
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
The Highlanders are utilizing both of their primary keepers this season with Cody Suppé getting the call for seven starts and Ryan Schmitz picking up four on the year thus far. Suppé's goals against average is 1.85 while Schmitz's is 2.40.
ALL-TOURNEY TEAM
UC Riverside's David Lozano and Chris Smith were named to the Saint Mary's All-Tournament Team for their performances in the Highlanders' first two matches of the season against Sacramento State and Saint Mary's. The Highlanders dropped both games of the tournament by the thinnest of margins — 1-0 at Sacramento State on September 4 and 2-1 in overtime at Saint Mary's on September 6.
WRONG WAY STREAK
UCR has lost eight straight matches with four of those defeats coming by just one goal. The 2001 version of the Highlanders dropped a program record 11 straight.
