Men's soccer midfielder Fabian Roman tallied two match-winning goals to lead the Wildcats to a pair of home victories this weekend and earn Wildcat of the Week honors. The junior from Panorama City scored in the 80th minute in a thrilling 1–0 victory over previously unbeaten San Francisco State Friday Roman did the damage early Wednesday against Stanislaus State, finding the back of the net just 7:19 into a 2–0 victory.
Â
Roman also helped Chico State's defense post a pair of shutouts, extending their streak to four.
Â
Jeremiah Egujie and Eruvey Arceta set things in motion for Roman with a pass out wide and then a cross toward the far post for Friday's winning goal. At just 5-feet-10, Roman rose up and over the defense to re-direct the ball inside the post.
Â
His goal Wednesday night was nearly identical: a cross to the far post that he headed home inside the post, assisted by Dylan Wakefield and Carter Johnson.
Â
Roman finished the weekend with four shots, three of which were on goal, and two that arrived in the back of the net.
Â
Now 6-2-0 overall and atop the California Collegiate Athletic Association table at 4-0-0 in conference action, the Wildcats will hit the road (where they've won six in a row) next weekend for matchups with Humboldt State Friday at 3 p.m. and Sonoma State Sunday at 2 p.m.
