Follow @csub_football

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The CSU Bakersfield men's soccer team is anxious to get back on the pitch this weekend after opening their 2019 season with a pair of losses on the road last week. On the tail end of a four-game slate away from home, the Roadrunners head to northern California for another pair of tough nonconference matches.

Bakersfield will get a brief snapshot of what to expect next year in conference when Big West Conference members UC Davis and Sacramento State welcome the Roadrunners to their respective facilities this weekend. The Aggies were picked to finish fourth in the preseason poll while the Hornets rounded out the eight-team standings.

UC Davis-CSU Bakersfield have played each other once in the last nine seasons. The Aggies lead the all-time series but the two teams are knotted when at the Aggie Soccer Field (2-2-1). The contest is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. on Friday.

Sacramento State opened the series 3-0-2 in the first three seasons on the pitch with Bakersfield before the men's soccer program recorded a 7-1-1 record against the Hornets in the following eight seasons to lead the overall series. The match is set to begin at 2:30 on Sunday.

Both of Bakersfield's games this weekend will be streamed live on BigWest.TV. Links to the broadcast as well as live stats are available on the CSUB men's soccer schedule page.
