Box Score

SPOKANE, Wash. – A seventh-minute goal from defender Terry Watson marked the difference Saturday evening as the Cal Poly men's soccer program sustained a 1-0 loss at Gonzaga.

Gonzaga (5-8-3, 1-4-0) produced Saturday's game-winning goal with the evening's first shot on target as a free kick by midfielder Dylan Cantafio from the left side of the Mustang penalty box was headed down and fell for Watson, who flicked past Cal Poly goalkeeper Matthew Guerra at the right post for the lead.

Guerra finished with a career high seven saves – including three in the first half to keep matters close.

Cal Poly (6-6-5, 1-2-2) tested Gonzaga goalkeeper Chema Preciado twice with junior midfielder Colin Pearce turned away in the 31st minute and forward Charlie Hogan stopped on 79 minutes.

Cal Poly also saw a 76th-minute Hogan goal chalked off as – following a video review – a Mustang foul was judged to have taken place in midfield that negate the score.

Pac-12 Update: With Saturday's loss, Cal Poly stayed on five points in the Pac-12 standings, but slipped a point behind fourth-place UC San Diego for the final spot in the four-team Nov. 7 and 13 Pac-12 Tournament. The Mustangs will need to defeat UC Riverside (also on five points) in the regular season finale to qualify for the conference tournament.
Guerra's seven saves Saturday surpassed his previous collegiate best of six set during a 2-1 home win against UC Santa Barbara (Sept. 25).
