(November 2, 2007) --UC
Riverside dropped a 2-1 decision to the UC Davis Aggies in
a Big West Conference match-up Friday afternoon UCR Soccer
Stadium. Sophomore Xavier Perez scored the goal for UCR whose
record falls to 4-5-6 overall and 1-3-4 in the Big West.
The Highlanders were unable
to break through a tough Aggie defense for most of the match.
Perez took a pass from sophomore Scott Dailey and found the
back of the net with 23 seconds left in the second half. That
was the only time Aggie defense broke down on the day, limiting
UCR to eight shots while firing 20 of their own.
The Aggies scored their
first goal at 32:12 when Nicholas Lind fired a shot on UCR
keeper Charles Alamo, unfortunately for the Highlanders the
rebound found Davis’ Quincy Amarikwa, who lobbed it
over Alamo for the easy put back.
UCD took a 2-0 lead when
Chris Leer’s shot from seven yards out went right through
the hands of Alamo in the 54th minute.
The Highlanders return to
action November 7th when they host UC Irvine at UCR Soccer
Stadium.
