SEASIDE, Calif --- In it's final game of the 2014 season the Cal State Monterey Bay men's soccer team played the roll of spoiler as they scored a season–high four goals in a 4-2 win over Humboldt State, who need a win to help them earn a CCAA Championship Tournament bid. CSUMB spread the wealth as three different Otters were able to find the back of the net, two of which scored for the first time in the season.

Both offenses were back and forth for at 90 minutes of the match, but the scoring began 23 minutes into the game when Manny Cazares (Panorama City, Calif./Daniel Pearl HS) found Max Madrigal (Oxnard HS) who then sent a rocket into the net from about 20 yards out, giving the Otters a 1–0 lead. Humboldt was able to answer back and knot the score at 1–1 when Chuck Pitts earned his eighth goal of the season, a team–high.

After the half, both offenses turned it on and the shots were flying.  Cal State Monterey Bay recorded a season–high 25 shots, three shy of the program record of 28. Michael Brixey (Truckee HS) was able to get two–thirds of a hat trick as he scored his first two goals of the season. His first goal came early in the second half when a pass from Duce Bell (Fresno, Calif./Bullard HS) set up Brixey to lace a shot from 30 yards out that flew passed the outstretched hands of HSU goalkeeper Javier Torres and tickled the left of the net, putting the Otter up 2–1. 



Brixey recorded his second goal to again give CSUMB the lead after Braxton Griffin tied it for the Jacks. On a corner kick taken by Madrigal found the head of Bell, Brixey wound up in the right place at the right time, slotting the header into the upper left–hand corner of the goal, giving the hosts the 3–2 lead.

Another Otter notched his first goal of the season in the second half as well to give the Otters a 4–2 lead and eventual win.  Roque Magana (Santa Paula HS) received a pass from Madrigal that put him in a prime spot to send a chip shot over the head of Torres, sending the ball bouncing into the goal.

The win in the final game of the season gives the Otters a final record of 3–9–4, 2–7–2 CCAA, while the Lumberjacks fall to 8–7–2, 4–6–1 CCAA
