TURLOCK, Calif. -- The Cal State Monterey Bay men's soccer team played in a game for ages on Friday night at Stanislaus State which saw many close calls but ended in an amazing 3-3 tie.

There was plenty of offense in this game as the team scored a combined six goals. The Warriors got on the board early as Ahmed Mohammed scored his first goal of the season at 17:56 mark. The Otters' Steven Moreno found the equalizer in the 39th minute sending the game to halftime at a 1-1 tie. The offense picked up in the second half as a header by Luis Lopez got the scoring started and gave CSUMB a 2-1 lead. However, goals by Stanislaus in the 70th and 71st minute allow the hosts to regain the lead at 3-2. However, the Otters would not go quietly. Jose Gomes got a nice cross from Edrey Valencia into the box and was able to convert for the third score of the game for CSUMB a 3-3 game.

In overtime, CSUMB found themselves a man down, but the freshman goalkeeper, Jesus Ochoa, made two big saves to keep the Otters alive and leave with a 3-3 draw.
