(CARSON, Calif.) PLNU Men's Soccer closed out its non-conference schedule with an impressive 2-1 road victory at Cal State Dominguez Hills on Thursday night.
 
"After a disappointing Colorado trip results wise, this was a fantastic bounce-back win," Head Coach Phil Wolf said. "CSUDH is an excellent team and to take full points on the road is an amazing accomplishment. "
 
Felix Calero assisted both Point Loma goals, beginning with Simon Sagal's in the 17th minute.
 
The Sea Lions caught the Toros out on a counter attack, with Calero getting behind the opposing defense and squaring a ball to Sagal to beat the keeper at the near post.
