Riverside, CA—The UC Riverside Men's Soccer Team (0-6-0) outshot Vermont (4-3-0), 15-10 on Sunday morning, but was unable to convert, falling 2-0 in its regular season home-opener.

"I thought we started the game well and played a good first half. We created some good chances but unfortunately didn't finish them," Head Coach Tim Cupello said. "We have to do a better job of scoring earlier in the match and forcing our opponents to deal with playing from behind."
