SAN MARCOS, Calif.--- Stanislaus State saw its six-match unbeaten streak snapped this afternoon in San Marcos, Calif., with a 1-0 loss to the Cal State San Marcos Cougars (4-4-1, 2-0 CCAA) at The Cage.  The Cougars scored what proved to be the game-winner in the 52^nd minute when Giovanni March connected on a ball from Kian Aminloo.  With the loss, the Warriors finished the opening weekend of CCAA play 1-1. 

QUOTES FROM THE COACH:  "I hope the lessons we learn from today will be applied and only unite us together in strength and unity,' said head coach Morgan Cathey,  " We played a team that really challenged us and was very together in how hard they worked and in their will to compete. We played very much into their hands in the first half and began to find ourselves more in the second half. Unfortunately, after we gave up the goal and started really to chase the game - against a team as focused on transition, it was always going to be difficult."

SECOND HALF:  Cal State San Marcos took the 1-0 lead in the 52^nd minute as Marsh connected on a ball from Kian Aminloo in the 52^nd minute.  The Cougars had a chance to double their lead, but they missed the penalty kick in the 56^th minute.  Sturtevant's chance to tie the match for the guests was stopped by Mentado in the 72^nd minute.  Rosas made another one of his saves in the 86^th minute when he stopped John Williamson's shot on goal attempt.  Three minutes later, the Warriors had a chance to tie the match when Mentado stopped Finn Hoffmann's shot on goal attempt as the Cougars held on for the 1-0 victory.

1-1:  Stan State finished the opening weekend of CCAA play 1-1.  The Warriors started the weekend with a 3-0 win at Cal State San Bernardino, who was receiving votes in the national poll.  In the match, Josh Santillan scored two goals and assisted on Stan State's third goal.  Clayton Crockett scored the Warriors' final goal while Finn Hoffmann and Gerardo Delgadillo had assists.
