Tigers Looking to Start 2-0 For First Time Since 2018

STOCKTON, Calif. – The Pacific University men's soccer looks to build off Thursday's 2-1 win over UC San Diego with its upcoming matchup on Monday night at UC Santa Barbara. The Tigers posted an 18-9 advantage in shots with Cory Johnson and Jose Maria Barrera each scoring a goal in the win. Goalkeeper Joshua Moya had three saves for his first collegiate win.

Pacific is seeking its first 2-0 start to the season since 2018 when they opened up the campaign with wins over Westmont and UAB. UC Santa Barbara has won the last two meetings against the Tigers since the program was reinstated.

The Tigers were picked to finish sixth in the WCC; whereas, the Gauchos was picked to win the Big West Conference. UC Santa Barbara started the season, dropping a 4-0 decision to Oral Roberts on Friday. UCSB goalkeeper Leroy Zeller was one of three Gauchos named to the Big West Preseason Team and one of six goalkeepers on the Division I Goalkeepers to Watch by the United Soccer Coaches. He was joined by Alexis Ledoux and Lucas Gonzales on the Preseason Coaches' Team.
