COLUMBUS, Ohio. – The Cal State Fullerton men's soccer team fell short Sunday morning as back-to-back goals from Wright State sealed the deal to take down the Titans 2-1 at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
After a scoreless first half, Wright State struck first with goals right away in the second half from Peguy Ngatcha in the 48th minute and Jake Stovall in the 49th. Fullerton (0-2-0) netted their first goal of the season in the 75th minute off a penalty kick from sophomore Robert Coronado to bring the Titans within one.
Freshman Brandon West led the Titans with four shots on the day while goalkeeper David Rodriguez Elias had four saves while allowing two.
Two Titans were named to the 2015 Wolstein Classic All- Tournament team in freshman defender Carlos Troncoso and sophomore midfielder Nicolo D'Amato.
