SEATTLE, Wash. - For the second match in a row in Western Athletic Conference play, Bakersfield found themselves in a back-and-forth battle on the road, this time in Seattle, Wash., taking on Seattle University on Sunday where despite two extra periods the ?Runners and Redhawks played to a 2-2 draw.

The Roadrunners got on the board first when David Valasquez (R-Jr., Los Angeles, Calif., Locke HS) netted his third of the season in the game's fifth minute unassisted finding the top right corner of the net to give Bakersfield the 1-0 lead.

Seattle would respond in the 25th minute when a Hanza Haddadi cross found Miguel Gonzalez. His shot beat Bakersfield goalkeeper Anthony Perez (R-So., Fontana, Calif., Bloomington HS) who came out of the box on the play to tie the match 1-1.

In the second half it was another scoring frenzy as the Roadrunners took a brief 2-1 lead following a free kick by Giovanni Godoy (Fr., Watsonville, Calif., Watsonville HS) that was put in by Manny Carrillo (Fr., San Diego, Calif., Patrick Henry HS) who scored his first goal for the ?Runners from 16 feet out.

That lead lasted about two minutes before CSUB fouled Gonzalez who scored his second goal of the match on a penalty kick in the 71st minute.

In the 86th minute a heads-up defensive play by Kyle Bjornethun kept the match tied after Godoy's shot beat Seattle goalkeeper Jake Feener who came out to challenge the play. Bjornethun was able to kick the ball out of the box before it crossed into the net to keep the match tied 2-2 at the end of regulation.

In the first overtime, the Roadrunners and Redhawks played evenly matched with both teams coming up with scoring opportunities, CSUB's Perez managed a pair of saves in the first extra frame while Bakersfield had a header opportunity from Carrillo off a corner kick saved by Feener with time winding down.

Both teams would manage a pair of quality opportunities in the second overtime but the match would end in a 2-2 draw following one final free kick by Seattle that was sent wide of the net via a header from Shane Mahvi.

“I'm satisfied with a good tie on the road,” said CSUB head coach Simon Tobin. “I felt we did enough to win the game but each time we took the lead we stopped dictating the game.”

Bakersfield outshot Seattle 22-20 in the match with Eduardo Caldaza (So., South Los Angeles, Calif., Roosevelt HS) taking a team-high six shots for the Roadrunners. Perez made eight saves in the match for Bakersfield as well.

The Roadrunners (3-6-2, 1-1-1 WAC) will now head back home for the start of a five-game WAC home stand starting Friday night at 7 p.m. as they host San Jose State. The ?Runners will also host Seattle Sunday at 1 p.m. in conference play as well.
