SAN LUIS OBISPO – The Cal Poly men's soccer program closes a three-game home stand, completes Big West Conference preparations and hosts San Diego for the first time as a Division I program on Saturday, Sept. 24. Kickoff from Alex G. Spanos Stadium is 5 p.m. for Cal Poly (0-7-0), which still seeks its first victory of the season after dropping a 2-1 home decision to Blue-Green rival UC Santa Barbara (Sept. 21) in front of 10,392 fans – the 25th largest regular season attendance figure in NCAA history. San Diego enters play having drawn its last three opponents and four of the previous five – including back-to-back 2-2 home deadlocks versus Cal State Fullerton (Sept. 18) and UNLV (Sept. 21). Cal Poly is San Diego's fifth Big West opponent in 10 non-conference matchups.

CAL POLY VERSUS SAN DIEGO: Hosting San Diego for the first time at the Division I level, Cal Poly seeks its first victory against the Toreros since a 2-0 road decision on Sept. 19, 1997. San Diego prevailed in the last meeting on Sept. 2, 2019 (3-0) and leads the common Division I series, 3-1-0.
DEBUTANTE BALL: With Cal Poly featuring one of the youngest lineups in Division I (38 of the program's 44 rostered players are either freshmen or sophomores), 20 Mustangs have made their collegiate debuts this season.
CAL POLY SELECTED SIXTH IN BIG WEST CONFERENCE POLL: Highlighted by sophomore forward Drew Patterson's selection to the 11-player Big West Preseason Team, Cal Poly was selected for a sixth-place finish in the Big West standings following the Aug. 19 release of the annual coaches poll. Cal Poly earned 44 points and one first-place vote to finish directly behind third-place UC Davis (49), fourth-place UC Riverside (47) and fifth-place Sacramento State (46). UC Santa Barbara and UC Irvine, who split last year's regular season title, each collected 71 points to return to the top spot in the preseason poll.
UP NEXT (SEPT. 28, OCT. 2): Cal Poly opens Big West Conference action at UC Davis on Wednesday, Sept. 28. Kickoff is 3 p.m. for Cal Poly, which concludes the opening week of Big West play by hosting UC Irvine on Sunday, Oct. 2 at 5 p.m.
ETC.: Sophomore defender Conner Leber and freshman midfielder Richie Garcia were both named to the all-tournament team at Ohio State's Wolstein Classic (Aug. 25, 28).
