The San Diego State men’s soccer team experienced their first home loss of the season after falling 1-0 against No. 2 Oregon State on a misty and foggy Thursday evening at the SDSU Sports Deck.
The Aztecs (8-5-2) saw the Beavers (12-1-2) win after 90 minutes of play and a goal that couldn’t be undone.
Oregon State’s lone goal came right after halftime. A 30-yard strike by sophomore midfielder Javier Armas in the 51st minute gave the Beavers the lead, and the Aztecs failed to rebut.
“It’s a tough result. I thought we played well enough and executed the tactics we wanted to, and they scored on a wonder strike, and that’s how it goes sometimes when you’re playing the number two team in the country,” head coach Ryan Hopkins said, after the match.
