POMONA – Cal Poly Pomona’s men’s soccer team was much more competitive this time around, but the end result was the same against California Collegiate Athletic Association power Cal State Dominguez Hills.

The Broncos, who lost to the Toros, 9-0, in September in Carson, gave a much more spirited effort on Saturday, but still fell to Cal State Dominguez Hills, 3-1, Saturday at Kellogg Field. Cal Poly Pomona (7-11-1, 5-8-1) concludes its 2004 season, while Cal State Dominguez Hills (16-2-2, 12-0-2) put the finishing touches on another CCAA South Division crown. The Toros will host the CCAA Championship Tournament beginning on Friday.

The Toros took a quick 1-0 lead on a goal by Chris O’Campo just 4:58 into the game, but the Broncos battled the Toros on even terms until Cal State Dominguez Hills finally got its second goal in the 69th minute. Francisco Corona, who assisted on O’Campo’s first goal, made a nice run and eluded Cal Poly Pomona goalkeeper Gabe Ward (Sr., Chino Hills, Damien HS) before tapping the ball into an empty net.

The Broncos had a golden opportunity to slice the deficit in half, but Peter Wallace (Sr., San Martin, De Anza JC) drilled a penalty kick just wide. A short while later, Corona set up teammate Kei Kamara with a beautiful pass and Kamara knocked a shot into an empty net.

The Broncos got on the board in the 79th minute when Wallace scored his third goal of the season. Vic Perkins (Fr., Palmdale, Highland HS) passed the ball to Andrew Bornstein (Sr., Los Alamitos, Long Beach CC) to start the scoring play. Bornstein then set up Wallace in the middle of the penalty area and he drilled a shot into the net.

Kyle Polak made one save for the Toros, while Ward and Jeff Coombs (Jr., Palm Springs, Palm Springs HS) combined for five saves. Cal State Dominguez Hills held an 11-10 advantage in shots.

It was a physical game with the two teams combining for seven yellow cards and 45 fouls.
