SAN JOSE, Calif. – CSUN Men's Soccer (2-0-3) remained unbeaten to start the 2025 season, earning a hard-fought 0-0 draw on the road at San Jose State (4-1-1) on Thursday night at Spartan Soccer Field.

The Matadors held their ground in a physical contest that saw 34 fouls and seven yellow cards between the two sides. Both teams generated scoring chances throughout, but goalkeepers Bryan Castaneda for CSUN and Edgar Guerra for the Spartans each posted clean sheets.

Castaneda recorded four saves, including key stops in both halves to preserve the shutout. On the offensive side, Jorge Solorzano and Zion Wagoner led the Matadors with two shots apiece, while Siddiq Lezzar and Eyifehn Forfor also tested the Spartan defense.
