Armendariz Scores, Dadone Stops Seven in Loss at UCI

Bakersfield – Carlos Armendariz scored his third goal of the season on a penalty kick in the seventh minute, but the California State University, Bakersfield men's soccer team dropped a 2-1 decision to host UC Irvine, Wednesday night in Orange County. Francesco Montanile registered a goal and an assist for the Anteaters.
 
The Roadrunners fell to 2-11-2 overall and 0-6-1 in Big West Conference play and were officially eliminated from post-season play. UC Irvine improved to just 3-11-2 overall, but the Anteaters are now 3-3-0 in league action.

"We got off to a great start drawing the penalty and looked very confident for a period," said CSUB Head Coach Richie Grant. "Full credit to Irvine in the second half as they took control and forced us to chase the game." 
 
First Half…
* Carlos Armendariz put the 'Runners in front in the 7th minute when he buried Bakersfield's first penalty-kick chance of the season.
* Jake Means evened the score at one in the 19th minute when he slotted home a cross from Francesco Montanile. Mario Anaya also assisted on the play.
* 'Runner goalkeeper Filippo Dadone made five first-half saves, several of the sparkling variety to keep Bakersfield even at the break.
* The Anteaters outshot the Roadrunners 11-3 in the first, and held a 6-1 advantage in corner kick opportunities.
 
Second Half…
* UCI's Francesco Montanile made it 2-1 for the hosts in the 51st minute when he got his head on a bouncing ball in the CSUB box and beat Filippo Dadone to the far side.
* Dadone made two more saves in the second half, finishing with seven on the night.
* The Anteaters took seven more shots, ending the game outshooting CSUB by a 19-4 margin.  
 
Notable…
* Carlos Armendariz' goal was his team-leading third of the season and the seventh penalty-kick goal of his career in nine attempts. Armendariz scored four times from the penalty spot a season ago.
* Filippo Dadone's seven saves tied for his second most stops on the season. Dadone also made seven saves in a loss at Portland. The Cuneo, Italy, native turned aside a career high eight in the season opener with SJSU.
