HOUSTON – The Pacific men's soccer program dropped a 4-0 decision to Houston Christian Sunday night at Sorrels Field.

In the second all-time meeting between the two programs, the Tigers (0-2) and the Huskies (1-0) generated limited quality scoring chances, but it was the home team that capitalized four times with four different goal scorers across 90 minutes for the result.

Of the Tigers' greatest opportunities to score, sophomore Ezekiel Padilla was credited with a pair of shots on goal on four attempts through 56 minutes on the pitch. Senior Luca Baltzer and sophomore James Andrew also each recorded a shot on target.

In his second career start in goal, junior Mateus Ruiz-Hurst made five saves in the effort defensively, including four of those in the second half.

Along with Ruiz-Hurst, senior Matteo Carbone, sophomore Muharif Adbul-Kadir, Baltzer and graduate student Ignacio Flores III each played the full length of the match.

The Tigers fly back to Stockton and will regroup for their home opener next week, welcoming Utah Tech Sunday at 7 p.m. at Knoles Field.
