Live Stats | Live Video | Live Audio
Loretto, Pa.- The Saint Francis men's soccer team (4-3) will look to close out its non-conference schedule as they head out West to take on Cal State Fullerton (2-2-4) on Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET.
Scouting the Titans
Cal State Fullerton comes into Sunday's matchup with a 2-2-4 overall record after completing Wednesday's contest in a tie against Florida Gulf Coast. Freshman DJ Wilson scored a late second half goal with one-minute remaining to send the match into overtime. Wilson has played a virtual role in the Titans offense as he contributes with two goals on a .286 shot percentage. Redshirt senior Samuel Goni also has two goals along with a team high six shots on goal. Junior goalkeeper Paul-Andre Guerin has racked up the majority of the minutes for the Titan's as he sits third in the Big West Conference in saves with 31.
Series History
Saturday's contest will be the first ever meeting between the two teams.
Scoring in Bunches
Over the last few contests, the Red Flash have accrued a different scorer in each of its matches. Against St. Bonaventure this past Wednesday, freshman
Ryan Berhorst (Imperial, Mo./Seckman) and senior
Eric Ganime (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil/Colegio Icaro) accomplished their first goals of the season, and of their career. Sophomore
Gabriel Castro (Belo Horizonte, Brazil/Lausanne Collegiate School) scored his first season goal against West Virginia, as
Leonardo Ribeiro (Florence, Italy/Liceo Linguistico "G Pascoli") notched his against Duquesne.
Gaining Momentum
The Red Flash will look to open conference play next weekend on the road against Sacred Heart and Bryant. With a win over St. Bonaventure this week, Saint Francis will try to keep their momentum going into Sunday's match and into next weekend's contests. Head coach
Frank Olszewski believes that the Flash are improving as a unit but have to maintain that bullish force going into the second half of the season.
