SAN FRANCISCO – Eric Vazquez-Acosta scored early in the contest and the Otter defense did the rest as the Cal State Monterey Bay men's soccer team (3-1-2) wrapped up non-conference play with a 1-0 victory over San Francisco State at Cox Stadium.
 
Vazquez-Acosta finished a Hugo Vargas-Rios assist in the 10^th minute for the only scoring in the match.
 
The goal is all the Otters would need as Sean Mattivi earned the clean sheet, making two saves to earn his first victory of the season.
 
Both teams fired off nine shots and the Otters tallied eight corners.

THE LAST WORD… "The guys were desperate to get back on the field after the previous week. The staff could feel it all week and our concentration and desire was evident from the get go. It was a really good team effort from the lads and probably should have scored more in the second half. Great to keep a clean sheet and really excited about the start of the conference season next week down in LA.." – CSUMB Head Coach Graeme Jaap

THEY'VE GOT NEXT… The Otters open CCAA play next week with a pair of matches on the road. CSUMB will south to Cal State San Bernardino on Friday, Oct. 4, and then play nationally ranked Cal Poly Pomona on Sunday, Oct. 6.
