Roadrunners Prove to be Too Much in Second Half



SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A brilliant second half performance sent the CSU Bakersfield men's soccer team past Sacramento State, 5-2, on Sunday afternoon as the Roadrunners tallied their first win on the 2019 season. And what a first win it was as Bakersfield downed a previously unbeaten Hornet squad (3-1) that earned victories already this season over Western Athletic Conference teams San Jose State and No. 25 Air Force.
 
Bakersfield scored in the 8th minute of the match. Tom Shepherd connected with a cross from Ryan Goldsmith and drove a shot past the Hornets' Ryan Curtis to go up one goal early. It took Sacramento State the next twenty minutes to equalize but in the 26th minute the Hornets had tied the contest. 
 
CSUB reclaimed the lead in the 69th minute and never looked back after Carlos Armendariz and Niklas Korber combined for four goals in the remaining twenty minutes of the match to give the Roadrunners the comfortable victory on the road. Sacramento State made the final score in the 87th minute when the Hornets snuck one past Rodrigo Sarmiento, but the damage had already been done as CSUB earned the 5-2 win.
 
Bakersfield returns home next week to face Saint Mary's (Calif.) after opening the year with a four-match road swing.
