Box Score

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Junior forward Sean Goode's first Cal Poly goal halved Georgetown's lead midway through the first period Friday afternoon, but two goals from junior sophomore forward Achara inside the opening 21 minutes placed the Hoyas in front from the start as the Mustang men's soccer program dropped a 3-1 decision at Shaw Field.

Mustang junior goalkeeper Simon Boehme, the Big West Conference's leader at 8.0 saves per match, stopped nine Georgetown attempts. Achara (goes by one name), however, found the back of the Mustang net on six and 21 minutes while Hoya freshman forward Derek Dodson wrapped up the scoring with a 74th-minute strike in the first meeting between the two programs.

Achara, who produced a match-leading four shots on target, first tested Boehme on three minutes before sending the Hoyas up 1-0 with a shot into the right corner of the Cal Poly net.

Achara then doubled Georgetown's lead 15 minutes later, drawing Boehme out from goal before completing his brace.

Cal Poly eventually cut the Georgetown lead in half with its first shot on goal in the 29th minute. A Mustang throw glanced off of a Georgetown defender and Goode – an offseason transfer from Irvine Valley College – collected the errant ball before slipping it past Hoya goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski.

The Mustangs though were held to just two more shots on frame the remainder of the afternoon.

Boehme was called on to make seven saves during the second half to keep Cal Poly within touching distance of the Hoya lead, but Dodson capped the match with his first collegiate goal 16 minutes from full time.

Cal Poly (0-3-0) closes its four-match season-opening road trip with a Monday, Sept. 4 meeting at No. 6 Maryland. Kickoff is 4 p.m. PT.
