Box Score

SAN BERNARDINO -- Francisco Corona scored twice and assisted on a third goal Saturday to lead Cal State Dominguez Hills, ranked No. 4 in the nation and No.1 in the Far West Region, to a 4-0 victory over Cal State San Bernardino in a CCAA men's soccer match at Coyotes Premier Field.

Corona, an all-CCAA first-team selection last year, put the Toros up 2-0 in the 51st minute by converting a penalty kick after a teammate was fouled in the penalty area. Minutes later, he delivered a nice crossing pass to Nick Ripetto who delivered the goal for a 3-0 lead.

The senior forward then completed the scoring in the 76th minute, taking a pass from Jesse Graham and finishing the attack for his fourth goal of the season.

Meanwhile, the Toros (6-1-1 overall and 2-1-1 in the CCAA) put the clamps on the Coyotes' offense that had produced three straight CCAA victories. Goalkeeper Kyle Polak made six saves to earn his second shutout of the season. The loss dropped CSUSB, ranked No. 8 in the Far West Region, to 4-3-1 overall and 3-1 in the CCAA.

Kei Kamara, the CCAA player of the year in 2004, got his fifth goal of the season for the Toros less than six minutes into the match as he broke free from a defender and drove a shot past Coyotes goalkeeper Lucas Pepi, who came off his line to challenge.

Both Cal State Dominguez Hills soccer teams take the field again Monday in home matches with Grand Canyon. The men's play begins at 12:30 p.m., followed by the women at 3:00 p.m.
