🏈 The Full Recap

🔼 Staying Hot. It had been seven years since the SJSU men’s soccer team had defeated Cal Baptist on the pitch.

That changed Saturday night when Angel Iniguez, Gilberto Rivera and Arnold Matshazi each found the back of the net to lead the Spartans to a thrilling 3-1 victory over the Lancers, who were receiving votes in the latest national polls.

Rivera opened the scoring in the 17th minute, juking a defender before slotting a left-footed finish into the lower corner. Ten minutes later, Iniguez doubled the lead himself with a brilliant strike from the edge of the box to make it 2–0 before halftime.

In the second half, the Spartans continued to press the attack. Matshazi sealed the win in the 78th minute, heading home a service from Iniguez for his team-leading seventh goal of the season.

Goalkeeper Edgar Guerra earned his eighth win of the year, making six saves in the full 90 minutes.
