LOS ANGELES – The University of the Pacific men's soccer team concluded its 2026 season Friday night, falling 3-0 to LMU in its West Coast Conference finale at Sullivan Field.
The Tigers (3-11-4, 2-4-2 WCC) battled through a scoreless first half before the Lions (3-9-3, 2-5-1 WCC) struck for three second-half goals to take care of business on their Senior Night.
Pacific generated several offensive opportunities, placing seven of its 10 shots on goal.
Massimo Erfani led the Tigers with four shots, including three on target, while captain
Xavier Cisneros added three shots on goal.
Cisneros created Pacific's first scoring opportunity in the fourth minute, forcing LMU goalkeeper Ky Mani Dade into a key save early on to prevent the Tigers from striking first.
LMU broke through in the 57th minute when Skyler Wright scored to give the Lions a 1-0 lead. Wright doubled the advantage in the 61st minute before completing his hat trick in the 70th minute to extend LMU's lead to 3-0.
Pacific continued searching for an offensive breakthrough but could not solve Dade, who finished the evening with seven saves.
Goalkeeper
Alejandro Caracheo Luna recorded six saves in 82 minutes for the Tigers before
Mateus Ruiz-Hurst entered for the final few moments and added one save.
With the 2026 season in the books, Pacific turns its attention toward the offseason under first-year head coach Andres Ochoa, looking to build upon its young core and conference experience heading into 2027.
