Box Score ROCKLIN, Calif. – Braxton Griffin and Alan Castillo each netted a pair of goals to power Humboldt State to a 4-0 men's soccer victory at William Jessup in a hot Saturday afternoon match.
 
The two Lumberjack forwards helped the team bounce back from a tough Thursday night, 1-0, defeat to Seattle Pacific.
 
"Today's game was a good response from the team after the frustration of Thursday. We got a strong performance from our defense and scored several nice goals," said HSU Head Coach Fred Jungemann.
 
The HSU defense allowed only a single shot on goal, which was stopped by goalie Javier Torres. The Jacks (1-1) outshot the Warriors (0-1) by a 10-8 margin.
 
After a Luke Bunjovac corner kick, Griffin put the first of his two scores into the net at 6:33 into the match. In a little over 25 minutes later, freshman Castillo celebrated his first collegiate goal off a pass by Chuck Pitts to make it 2-0 at 34:04.
 
In the second half, Riki Michael assisted on Griffin's second goal to make it 3-0 in the 73^rd minute of play. Castillo added an unassisted tally to complete the scoring with less than five minutes in the match for the 4-0 final.
 
"It was great to see Braxton Griffin get his first two goals of the year and freshman Alan Castillo stepped up with a great performance and two goals to kick start his HSU career," said Jungemann. "Today's game was a good overall team performance and will definitely help build confidence moving forward."
 
HSU will be off until next Friday when it heads back to Chico for a pair of games starting with a 4:30 p.m. match against Saint Martin's.
