The Pacific men’s soccer team has started off the year with a 7-1 record, propelling them to the No. 17 ranking in the United Soccer Coaches Poll of NCAA Division 1 teams. The Tigers were ranked No. 14 at the end of week three, which marked the highest ranking in program history, but a 1-0 loss at UC Santa Barbara last Friday pushed the team down a few spots.
Fortunately, the Tigers were able to rebound at home on Sunday, when they knocked off the San Jose State Spartans by a score of 2-1.
The first goal of the game came from Pacific midfielder Camden Riley ’19, who scored on a header assisted by defender Bob Groenendijk ’19 at the 32:31 mark in the contest.
