Northridge, CA—The UC Riverside Men's Soccer Team took #21 Cal State Northridge into double overtime on Saturday evening, but Rene Angulano was the eventual recipient of a Yuval Barak corner kick with 6:27 to go in the second extra stanza, and the Matadors walked away with the 2-1 win.

The teams played to a scoreless tie through the first 45 minutes, with CSUN outshooting UC Riverside 9-4 in the period. In the 48th minute the Matador's Chris Smith curled one in off a set piece to put Cal State Northridge up 1-0.

The Highlanders tied the match with 22:40 to go in regulation following a yellow card in the UCR box to the Matadors' Mynor Giron. Julio Reyes connected on the subsequent penalty kick to knot the score at one.

Both team's took a single shot in the first overtime, and it was Angulano's scored in the second overtime frame that sent the Matadors home happy.

The Highlanders host UC Irvine this Wednesday, October 17 beginning at 7 pm PT.
