Men's Soccer Post Third Shutout of the Season in 3-0 Win over Menlo

Spencer Schwandt Scored SF State's Second Goal Off a Cross from Manny Murillo
SAN FRANCISCO--- All three of the SF State men's soccer team's victories this season have been shutouts including this afternoon's 3-0 win over the visiting Menlo College Oaks (0-1). With the win, SF State improves to 3-1 and will return to the soccer field a week from tomorrow, when the Gators travel to La Jolla to begin their conference season at UC San Diego. Kickoff is set for 7pm.
            “We did not get a chance to see Menlo play at all with it being the Oaks' first match, so we did not know what to expect at the beginning,” said SF State Head Coach Joe Hunter. “They packed it in a little bit, but we did not fall into the trap of here we go again and kept our heads,” said Hunter. “Our maturity level showed as we solved the problem at half and came out and dominated the second half,” added Hunter. “We put (Wes) Whitt at midfield and it helped as we scored all three goals in the second half.” “I am really pleased with everyone especially (Jorge) Calderon's intensity.”
            The Gators controlled the entire game especially the second half as they out-shot Menlo College 22-4 including 12-2 in the second half. SF State also had 11 shot on goals while the Oaks registered just two.
            SF State had many chances in the first half, but the ball could not find the back of the net with Menlo recording three saves. Dylan Glass (Rancho Cucamonga, California, Alta Loma) scored the game's first goal, five minutes into the second half on a pass from Silvestre Arias (Fresno, California, San Joaquin Memorial). This was his team leading third goal of the season. The Gators scored again at the 57:05 mark as Spencer Schwandt (Napa, California, Viintage) connected on a cross from Manny Murillo (Norwalk, California, John Glenn) to give SF State a 2-0 lead. 
            Antonio Ugarte (Danville, Calforna, San Ramon Valley ) sealed the game for the Gators at the 68:41 mark on a cross from Glass. It was his first goal of the season and Glass' third assist.
