November 7, 2005

Carson, CA -- The NCAA announced today that Cal State Dominguez Hills will host 2005 NCAA Division II Men’s Soccer Far West Regional Playoffs. Second-seeded Seattle Pacific University will battle 3rd-seeded Sonoma State on Saturday, November 12 at 1:00 p.m., with the winner taking on the top-seeded Toros in the Far West Championship game on Monday, November 14, also at 1:00 p.m. Both contests will be played at Toro Field on the campus of CSUDH.

CSUDH, currently at 16-4-2 and ranked No. 10 in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) poll, will be making its sixth-consecutive NCAA postseason appearance. The Toros were upset by Sonoma State in the CCAA Championship game yesterday afternoon, falling 1-0 in double overtime. Kei Kamara (Lawndale, CA/Leuzinger HS) and Francisco Corona (Paramount, CA/LA Harbor JC) lead the Toros offense with 14 and nine goals, respectively, each earning a First-Team All-CCAA honor last week. In between the posts, junior Kyle Polak (Huntington Beach, CA/CS Fullerton) again has been stellar, allowing just 0.83 goals per game while tallying 14 wins and seven shutouts on the year.

“We’re excited to be able to host,” head coach Joe Flanagan begins. “It’s always nice to play at home, and hopefully we’ll be able to attract a lot of people to the Stadium on Monday to support us.”

Ticket prices for both days are as follows:

• Adults - $6.00
