THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - Two Kingsmen goals early in the second half sealed the fate of the Beavers on Saturday afternoon in Thousand Oaks. Playing in its second SCIAC match of the season, Caltech was unable to convert any of its seven shots on goal, and fell to Cal Lutheran, 2-0.

Tech kept the hosts at bay in the first stanza, despite having to defend 12 shots and 4 corner kicks. Caltech had four and one, respectively. One of the visitors' shots, a free kick by sophomore Brice Nzeukou, just missed wide in the 22nd minute.

Trouble for the Beavers introduced itself in the 58th minute when Cal Lu scored off a free kick. Just more than three minutes later, the Kingsmen converted another score and widened the margin, a gap that proved to be too much to handle. Though Caltech managed three more shots in the second half, Cal Lu attempted nine more, for a total of 12 (24 in the game).

Senior goalkeeper Grayson Chadwick, defending the net in Marcus Lucas' absence, was brilliant for the Beavers as he recorded six saves. Chadwick kept his team in the game with several key plays, but Tech's inability to find the net for the second straight game allowed Cal Lu (1-3, 1-1) to win its first conference contest of the year.

Caltech (0-2, 0-2) travels to Redlands on Wednesday night to take on the 3-0 Bulldogs.
