SAN FRANCISCO—The Chico State men's soccer team got its second straight positive result on the road this weekend, playing to a scoreless draw at San Francisco State. The Wildcats are now 1-0-1 to open California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) play.
Luis Albarran saved four shots of the Wildcats, now 4-2-3 and unbeaten in their previous five matches. The shutout is Albarran's fourth of the season and third in the last four games. The four saves match his season high.
San Francisco State is now 2-2-4 overall and 0-0-2 in conference action. The Gators remain unbeaten at home at 1-0-3.
Miles Rice led the Wildcats with three shots, including a promising header inside the final two minutes that sailed just wide of the right upper-V.
Chico State, which entered the weekend ranked No. 8 in the West Region, returns home in no worse than a tie for second place in the CCAA standings, dependent upon Sunday afternoon's results. Next weekend, they'll play host to two teams that entered this weekend ranked nationally: No. 13 Cal Poly Pomona (Friday at 7 p.m..) and to-ranked Cal State LA (Sunday at 2 p.m.).
