QUOTES FROM THE COACH:  "This game cane be ruthless sometimes and CCAA trips to Southern California have a way of emphasizing that," said head coach Fred Jungemann.  "Like Friday, we played very well again today, but we are leaving Southern California with nothing to show for our performance.  Cal State San Marcos was very sharp today and particularly in front of goal.  It was a well-played game on both sides, but though they were more clinical than us and ultimately that's what made the difference."
