No. 8 CSUDH Blanks Seattle Pacific, 3-0, for Third Straight Win Cal State Dominguez Hills put forth a dominating performance at Seattle Pacific on Sept. 3 as the 8th-ranked Toros outshot the Falcons 20-8, including 14-3 in the second half, while riding senior Kyle Holland's first half goal en route to a 3-0 blanking of the hosts. Freshman Greg Piechota also tallied two assists in the shutout win.

"Three" Again Proves No. 24 Toros Downfall in 3-2 (2OT) Loss at No. 8 Seattle Pacific The number three again proved to be the Toros downfall as No. 24-ranked CSUDH's spirited comeback attempt fell just short in a 3-2 double-overtime loss at No. 8 Seattle Pacific, just less than 10 months after SPU ushered the Toros out of the 2007 NCAA postseason in a 3-0 Falcon win. Jessica Murphy paced the Toros with a goal and assist as CSUDH dropped to 1-2 on the year.
