October 8, 2017 (Corvallis, Ore.) - The San Diego State men’s soccer team suffered a 2-0 setback against Oregon State at Lorenz Field on Sunday. The Aztecs fall to 4-8-0 (0-4-0 Pac-12) on the season, while the Beavers notch their first conference win of the season and improve to 4-7-0 (1-2-0 Pac-12).

The Beavers headed into the halftime break with a 1-0 lead in thanks to a 29^th minute tally by Don Tchilao. 13:58 after play resumed for the second half, OSU extended that lead with Jordan Jones’ third goal of the year.

AJ Vergara led the Aztecs in both shots, with four, and shots on goal, with two.  

One of the Aztecs best scoring chances came in the 84^th minute, as Tevenn Roux’s chance at goal ricocheted off the post and out of danger. Less than three minutes later, the Aztecs presented another strong offensive threat as Dallin Cutler’s shot was on target, but cleared out of harm’s way by an OSU defender.

SDSU posted a 16-12 shot advantage and showed a high sense of urgency in the game’s final nine minutes, taking six shots for a chance at a late comeback. Each team recorded five shots on goal, while Adam Allmaras recorded three saves in net for the Aztecs.

SDSU has a weeklong break from game competition and will travel to UCLA (4-5-0, 1-2-0 Pac-12) next Sunday, Oct. 15, for a 5:00 p.m. contest at Drake Stadium in Los Angeles.
