(POMONA, Calif.) PLNU Men's Soccer battled No. 18 Cal Poly Pomona to a 3-3 draw on the road in a six-goal thriller on Saturday night.
"It was a top game with two top teams going toe-to-toe," Head Coach

Cole Friesen scored a pair of first half goals just three-and-a-half minutes apart in the 20th and 24th minutes of play to put the Sea Lions in front.
Friesen, who recorded an assist against Cal State San Bernardino on Thursday, opened his account for Point Loma with the help of assists from

Elijah Langford answered back with his second goal in as many games to put PLNU back ahead in the 70th.
However, the hosts responded once more in the 72nd to tie the game again and ultimately round out the scoring.
