Fourth-Straight WAC Victory for CSUB



HOUSTON, Texas – CSU Bakersfield's men's soccer team won its fourth-straight Western Athletic Conference match on Sunday afternoon. Behind a stellar defensive effort and brace from senior Ryan Goldsmith, the Roadrunners shut out the Houston Baptist Huskies, 2-0, and improved to 7-9 overall and 6-4 in conference. CSUB opened scoring in the fifth minute of the contest when Mikey Vogel played a ball to Goldsmith who netted his sixth goal of the season and put the Roadrunners up early. HBU tried to equalize and even had the advantage in possession and shots, but a swarming defense made any shots from the Huskies difficult.
 
In the second half, exactly eighty minutes from his first goal, Goldsmith struck again for CSUB after a long searching ball sent front Ricardo Soza up right field. Goldsmith now leads the team in scoring with 18 points (7g, 4a).
 
With the win over HBU, Bakersfield sits in a two-way tie for third-place in WAC standings. The way this 2019 roster has continued to battle through adversity all season long it's no surprise that the Roadrunners find themselves back at the top of the conference rankings.
