SEATTLE - Seattle U men's soccer put on a rally to take down CSUN, 4-3, Friday night at Championship Field. After trailing by two goals, the Redhawks had a stretch of four unanswered as they stormed back to secure a win in their final non-conference game of the season.
Four different Redhawks contributed goals in their scoring stretch, with Edgar Leon getting the run started with a header right before halftime off of an Eiji Hata corner. Hata would also be involved in the first goal of the second half, this time crossing a ball into the box that Jeremy Opong headed home.
The header theme continued into the third Seattle U goal, as Andre Philibbosian knocked in his first collegiate goal from a Jaden Manetta throw in that bounced its way through the box. It was also the first shot on goal for Philibbosian, who has started all but one of the matches this season for SU.
Titus Washington capped off the Redhawk rally in the 76th minute when he bucked the norm by using his right foot to kick home the fourth and final Seattle U goal on the night. The goal, Washington's team leading fourth of the season, also proved to be the game-winner as the Matadors would score just one minute later.
MATCH TIMELINE:
The win moves the Redhawks to 3-3-2 at the end of the non-conference schedule. They will have a little under a week off before starting WAC play on Thursday, Oct. 3, when they travel to Utah Valley.
