STOCKTON, Calif. – Freshman striker Buba Fofanah scored his second goal of the season, but the Portland men's soccer team opened West Coast Conference play with a 2-1 loss to the Pacific Tigers Sunday afternoon at Knoles Field. The Pilots fall to 1-2 overall, while the Tigers improve to 1-4 overall and 1-1 in league play.
With Pacific leading 2-0 midway through the second half, the Pilots began to take control and created numerous chances late in regulation.
Fofanah capitalized with a superb effort in the 72nd minute. He received a throw-in just outside the box on the left side.
