NORTHRIDGE, Calif.—Coming off a week which propelled CSUN into the men's soccer polls, the Matadors take on a pair of West Coast Conference foes this week.
The Matadors (4-1-1) travel to the University of Portland on Friday at 7 p.m. The match will be streamed by the W.tv. The Pilots improved to 3-2-1 after defeating Wisconsin 1-0 last Sunday. Alejandro Pereira scored the game-winner for Portland despite the Pilots playing a man down for over 60 minutes of the match due to a red card.
Pereira paces the Pilots in scoring with two goals and five points. Portland goalies Josh Lagudah and Nico Campuzano have each posted two shutouts and have combined for a 0.48 goals-against average. The duo has combined for 16 saves. This the third meeting between the two clubs with the all-time series tied at one.
CSUN returns home Sunday to host Loyola Marymount. Kick is set for 6 p.m. Live stats are available for the match on GoMatadors.com.
