Men's Soccer Loses on the Road to Cal Lutheran
Whittier College men's soccer lost 3-0 at California Lutheran
University on September 15. The Poets are still winless this
season; now 0-5 overall and 0-2 in Southern California
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play.
The Poets fell behind early, after Cal Lutheran found the back of
the net twice in the early going. Their first came in the
seventh minute from Scott Jones. They added another less than
a minute later when Brandon Higa snuck one past the Whittier
goalkeeper. The rest of the first half went without a
goal. The Poets had their best opportunities to score in the
first stanza, taking three of their four shots in the game.
The Kingsmen were relentless in their first half attack, as they
took 18 shots.
In the second half, Paul Stepler-Camp '10 kept the
Poets in the game with five saves. He finished with seven for
the game. Cal Lutheran broke through once again in the
70th minute, however, putting the finishing touches on a
3-0 victory.
The Poets are at home for their next game on September 19.
They take on defending SCIAC Champion, University of Redlands at
7pm.
