Beavers Fall in Tight Contest to Occidental

Box Score

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Looking to avenge an earlier loss to Occidental, the Caltech men's soccer squad came up short as the Tigers posted a 1-0 win on Saturday at Lower Field.

Less than a month ago, the Tigers knocked off the Beavers 4-0 at Caltech's North Field.

The game's only goal came in the 57th minute when James Kornfield headed home a corner kick off the foot of Doug Pentland.

In the final minutes of the games the Beavers had a chance to score the neutralizing goal. Marec Serlin put Caltech's only corner kick of the afternoon in front of the net but a shot by Mikhail Sushkov went wide in the 87th minute

Although the home squad posted a 7-1 edge in shots on goal, Wesley Swank kept the Beavers in the game by recording six saves on the afternoon.

The Beavers will play their fourth straight road contest on Monday at SOKA before returning home on Wednesday against Whittier at 4:00 p.m.
