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, seven different members of the Highlanders have goals to their credit with Joel Garcia leading the team with three scores.
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
The Highlanders are utilizing both of their primary keepers this season with Cody Suppé getting the call for 10 starts and Ryan Schmitz picking up five on the year thus far. Suppé's goals against average is 1.76 while Schmitz's is 2.50.
Alex Abelson earned his first start in goal as a collegian in UCR's most recent match against Cal State Northridge. This year's team goals against average is 2.16 compared to 2.39 from year ago.
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.
In the previous meeting between the clubs this year, UC Irvine scored two second half goals to pick up a 4-2 win over UCR at Irvine. Tyler Wilson and Cesar Diaz dented the net for the Highlanders in the match.
