CSU Bakersfield 4, FPU 1
BAKERSFIELD – Assistant coach Joel Ramirez said it best, ‘the Sunbird’s first half was championship material.’ However two halves make up a game.
The Bakersfield Roadrunners were relenting both on the offensive and defensive sides managing to shut down FPU’s top-scorer Amuary Nunes to one goal while putting up 14 shots on the night, 8 of which were on goal.
Nunes started off the night with a dribbler past goalie Steve Trojanowski in the 21st minute.
The Sunbird’s played a solid half dominating much of the possession time. However, minutes before half the Sunbirds slipped. T.J. Brown headed a beautiful ball into the left side, off a corner kick from Ryan Gay.
‘The goal before half really deflated us,’ said head coach Jaime Ramirez.
The Sunbirds never played the same.
CSUB struck hard in the second half putting away three more on the night (56:53, 78:35, 81:07).
Sunbirds continue action as they travel to Salt Lake City, Utah and participate in the Westminter Classic on September 1st – 4th. Sunbirds will be on the road till September 23rd when they return home to host Menlo College at 7:00 pm.
