Box Score
BELLINGHAM, Wash. - CAL STATE STANISLAUS 3, WESTERN WASHINGTON 0 Vikings blanked for second straight game
Frank Coehlo Jr. scored two goals and Matthew Johnson had a goal and an assist as Cal State Stanislaus blanked Western Washington University, 3-0, in a non-conference men's soccer game Wednesday at Orca Field on the Whatcom Community College campus.
The Vikings, who were blanked for the second straight game, dropped to 0-3-0. They have scored just one goal in three contests this season.
It was the first win for Cal State Stanislaus, which improved to 1-2-0.
Western narrowly missed on two scoring opportunities in the first 10 minutes. A shot by Matt Zigulis (So., Sebatopol, CA/Analy) from 24 yards hit the crossbar in the ninth minute and Jacob Haddock (Sr., Burlington/Burlington-Edison) hit the right post from 10 yards in 10th minute.
Coehlo gave the Warriors a 1-0 lead in the 12th minute, finding the net from six yards out on a cross from Robbie Handy.
Johnson had an unassisted goal in the 53rd minute, knocking in a blocked shot from four yards. Eight minutes later, he fed Coehlo, who finished from six yards.
"For us to be successful, we need to focus on doing all of the little things well," said Western coach Travis Connell. "We need to be strong in all the unrecognized areas, the areas that don't necessarily show up on the score sheet. We got away from that after they scored their first goal and it showed in the result."
The Vikings had a 16-13 advantage in shots, while Cal State Stanislaus had a 7-6 edge in corner kicks.
Western competes in the Sonoma State University Classic this weekend, meeting the host and nationally No.17-ranked Seawolves on Saturday (3 p.m.) and Cal State L.A. on Monday (2 p.m.).
"We have a tough road trip ahead of us and we'll need to get back to doing those little things well," Connell said. "We're going to have to work hard and trust each other if we want to get better."
