Sep 22 - The 12th-ranked UC San Diego men's soccer team registered a 0-0, double overtime tie with Cal State Dominguez Hills Wednesday night at Triton Soccer Field on the UCSD campus. The draw pushed the Tritons' record to 3-0-2 overall and 2-0-1 in California Collegiate Athletic Association play while the Toros watch their record go to 6-2-1 overall and 2-0-1 in league action.

CSUDH outshot the Tritons on the evening by a 17-7 margin, including a 5-1 differential in the overtime periods. UC San Diego netminder Edward Ruhland came up big as he played the second half and overtime periods, making six saves in his 65 minutes of action.

Forward Tiago Venturi was the only UCSD player to take more than one shot on the night, getting three off, including a very dangerous play with time running out in the second half. His breakaway run was stopped by Toros' goalkeeper Kyle Polak who ended the night with two saves.

Both teams took numerous corner kicks, with Cal State Dominguez Hills ending up with the advantage in that department as well, 7-6.

Offsides played a big role in the match as both teams ended up with three. None were more critical than the one called in the second overtime that disallowed a CSUDH goal.
