SAN MARCOS – In a hard-fought match against the Cal State San Marcos Cougars, the Cal State Dominguez Hills Toros were unable to match the score as the Cougars sealed the victory, 1-0.
 
Throughout the 90 minutes, the Toros battled relentlessly, creating several chances but failing to find the back of the net. Midfielder Jhoel Sarraude led the offensive efforts for the Toros, taking two shots, with one on target. Diego Barahona, Lee Chunghwan, and Karanikolas Davien also had attempts on goal but were thwarted by the Cougars resilient defense.
 
Goalkeeper Arturo Magaña, who played the full match, made three crucial saves, ensuring the Toros stayed in contention until the very end. Despite the solid defensive performance anchored by defenders Diego Barahona, Chunghwan Lee, and Zane Baumgardt, a lone goal from CSUSM in the second half sealed the fate of the match.
 
The Toros displayed a collective effort with eight shots throughout the game, four of which were on target. They also utilized various substitutes in a bid to alter the game dynamics, with players like Logan Kaufman, Ethan Jacobs, and Juan Manzano entering the fray.
