Complete Box Score

CARSON, Calif.- Senior forward Scott White (Sonora HS) tallied the game-winner late in the second half to lift the Cal State Dominguez Hills men's soccer team to a 2-1 California Collegiate Athletic Association win over Grand Canyon today at Toro Field. The victory is the Toros seventh straight and keeps them unbeaten on the 2002 campaign.

It was a scoreless game until the 34th minute when junior midfielder Victor Guerrero (Century HS) put the Toros up 1-0. Guerrero took a nice cross from White in front of the goal and after juking a defender, tapped his shot past Canyon goalie Nathan Edgin for his second goal of the year.

The score remained 1-0 until Grand Canyon (3-6-0, 0-6-0 CCAA) would tally the equalizer in the 47th minute. Forward Marcelo Soria got behind the Toros defense and took a through ball from Luiz Araujo. Soria then beat CSUDH goalie Scott Wilson (S. Torrance HS), who was drawn out, to the far post tying the game at 1-1.

With CSUDH (9-0-1, 6-0-0 CCAA) pushing forward almost the entire second half, they were finally able to convert on one of their opportunities for the game-winner. Midfielder Rick Cobb (Warren HS) and White connected on a give-and-go in the middle. White got behind the defense and slotted his ball to the back of the net for his third goal of the year making it 2-1.

The Toros defense was able to hold off a feisty Antelope squad the rest of the way to preserve the win. Freshman Toros goalie Scott Wilson was solid in his first collegiate start and earned the win. Canyon's Nathan Edgin took the loss while making 10 saves between the bars.

Cal State Dominguez Hills is back in CCAA action this Sunday, September 29 when they host UC San Diego. Kick-off is set for 12:30 PM.
