Pacific men's soccer earned the right to host the NCAA Tournament for the third-straight year, but after a strange twist of events, the Tigers went to Fresno Pacific University to defeat UC Riverside and advance to the second round of the NCAAs.
The Tigers got a goal from Anthony Orendain in the 23rd minute and freshman goalkeeper Ethan Bandre and his defense pitched a shutout in their second-straight match to see off the Highlanders.
"I love winning games in the Tournament," head coach Ryan Jorden said with a big smile after the game.
