The Titans came back, like they always do, in the 39th minute on a goal by Christian Pinzon for his fourth of the season. Mark Hernandez set the play up, making a great run down the left side of the field while using impressive footwork to get past a defender and drop off a perfect pass to Pinzon.

Guerin recorded six saves in the match, including four in the second half. The junior goalkeeper now has 66 saves, ranking him first in the Big West Conference.
