Fullerton begins the regular season on the road as they head to Ohio State to take on the Buckeyes on Friday, Aug. 28.
Cal State Fullerton men's soccer played to a 1-1 draw against No. 16 Cal with an unassisted goal from sophomore Diego Sanchez in the 73rd minute of the match.
The Titans added 17 new faces to the program for the 2015 season including 11 freshmen and six junior-college transfers to absorb the loss of the 12 seniors from the 2014 class. All 17 new faces will look to make an immediate impact on the pitch for Fullerton as the program looks to achieve back–to-back Big West Tournament Championships and NCAA Tournament appearances for the first time in school history.
Cal State Fullerton (10-8-6), was led by first-year head coach George Kuntz to their first Big West Tournament Championship in school history. After finishing third in the Big West South Division regular season, the Titans beat UC Irvine in the championship game to give them the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Kuntz Era Begins With Historical Season
With 10 wins in his inaugural season, Kuntz posted the most wins in his first season as head coach of the Titans since Al Mistri won 13 games in 1981. The 10 wins also proved to be the Titans first winning season since 2001 and led Fullerton to their first ever Big West Tournament Championship.
The 2014 Titans posted a double-digit win season, to go along with their first winning campaign for the first time since 2001.
• The Titans finish the 2014 season tied for the school record for most shutouts in one season, both the 2014 team and the 1993 team finished with nine.
• Jeff Salt finished the season with a goals against average of 0.90, good for second place in the Fullerton record book, only Nart Arislanook posted a better mark in 1982 when he recorded a 0.82 goals against average.
• Salt also tied Arislanook for second place in season shutouts with seven, trailing only Bob Amman who had nine in 1993.
