Conference Play Resumes As Men's Soccer Heads To UC Davis Wednesday
10/5/2009 9:48:23 AM | Men's Soccer
The UC Riverside Men's Soccer Team continues conference play this Wednesday as they travel to UC Davis to take on the Aggies at 3 pm PT. The last time these two teams faced off against one another (October 18, 2008) UC Davis was ranked seventh in the nation. It was the Highlanders emerging with the 2-1 win, however, as Xavier Perez (pictured) scored the game-winner with under three minutes to go.
Eight of the nine matches between the programs have been decided by one goal or less, and two were decided in overtime.
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—Normando Mariscal, Tyler Wilson, Joel Gracia, Robert Cate, Cesar Diaz and Jeremy Clay—have goals to their credit.
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
The Highlanders are utilizing both of their primary keepers this season with Cody Suppé getting the call for six starts and Ryan Schmitz picking up three on the year thus far. Suppé's goals against average is 1.82 while Schmitz's is 2.33.
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.
OVERTIME BLUES
The last time UC Riverside won a match that went into overtime was on November 12, 2005 in a 2-1 win over Cal State Fullerton. Since that time, the Highlanders are 0-3-11 in overtime matches.
Eight of the nine matches between the programs have been decided by one goal or less, and two were decided in overtime.
