September 28, 2001

SAN DIEGO, Calif.-All good things must come to an end, and they did today as the Toros dropped a 1-0 non-conference decision on the road at Alliant International University. The loss snapped a nation-best 23-game winning streak and a 32-game unbeaten streak dating back to last year for the defending NCAA National Champions.

AIU, formerly United States International University, struck first in the 30th minute of play to account for all the scoring in the game. CSUDH out-shot the Globe Runners but AIU's defense was able to shutout a very potent Toros offense that was averaging 3.3 goals per game.

Cal State Dominguez Hills (10-1) had several scoring opportunities in the second period, however, Alliant cleared two balls off the line. Junior forward Scott White (Sonora HS) also hit the post midway through the second half during a flurry of Toro shots.

For CSUDH, their 23-game win streak goes on record as the third best all-time in NCAA II history. Also, the Toros 32-game unbeaten streak was only four shy of the NCAA II record of 36 held by Southern Connecticut State.

Cal State Dominguez Hills, ranked No. 1 in the latest NSCAA polls, will be back in action on Friday, October 5 traveling north to take on CCAA foe San Francisco State. First kick is set for a 1:30 pm start.
