LOS ANGELES -- Cal State L.A. redshirt freshman Morten Marthinsen scored his 13th goal of the season, but visiting Cal State Dominguez Hills notched four second half goals as the 10th-ranked Toros knocked off the Golden Eagles on Wednesday afternoon at Jesse Owens Track, 5-1.

CSUDH improves to 15-2-2, 11-0-2 CCAA, while CSULA falls to 8-9-1, 6-6-1 CCAA.

The match was scoreless until late in the first half when CSUDH's Kei Kamara scored his 14th goal of the season to give the Toros a 1-0 lead at halftime. CSUDH's Edgar Guzman took advantage of a Golden Eagle defensive miscue to give the Toros a 2-0 lead just four minutes into the second half. CSUDH led 3-0 before Marthinsen found the back of the net for Cal State L.A., getting passes from Anthony Ordonez and Ivan Cano to trim the gap to 3-1.

However, CSUDH responded just 10 seconds later as Ryan Taylor answered with a goal of his own, pushing the margin back to three goals at 4-1. Guzman added his second goal of the night with 8 1/2 minutes left as the visiting Toros picked up the win. Ricky Gonzalez made five saves for CSULA in the loss while Kyle Polak had five saves for CSUDH.

In the race for the CCAA Tournament, CSUDH retains the top spot in the CCAA North. For Cal State L.A., despite the loss, the Golden Eagles are not eliminated from CCAA Tournament consideration as UCSD's home match against Cal State San Bernardino on Wednesday was postponed due to rain. Only Cal State L.A., UCSD and Cal Poly Pomona remain in mathematical contention for the final spot. Cal Poly Pomona's match at Cal State Bakersfield was rescheduled for Thursday night, also due to the heavy rains.
