Solorzano Ties Ohio State With 20 Seconds Remaining In 2023 Opener
8/24/2023 6:35:00 PM | Men's Soccer
COLUMBUS, Ohio—Freshman Jorge Solorzano scored his first career goal with 20 seconds remaining in the second half to earn CSUN a 1-1 tie against Ohio State in the Wolstein Classic Thursday night opening match at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH TERRY DAVILA
The teams played a scoreless first half as Cooper Wenzel made two saves on the two Buckeyes' shots on goal in the first half, including one on a bicycle kick attempt by Luciano Pechota.
WENZEL'S FIRST HALF SAVE
Shaun Ryan broke the seal for the Buckeyes in the 67th minute with a header off a Buckeyes' corner kick. Due to a tackle, Martin Palinic was issued a red card in the 82nd minute, putting CSUN down a man for the rest of the match.
Jamar Ricketts was fouled with approximately 30 seconds to go, setting up the set piece and the game-tying tally for the Matadors. It was Solorzano's only shot of the night, as the match ended shortly after.
