ARCATA, Calif.--- The trio of
Isaiah Dairo,
Devin Hauenstein and
Marco Silveira were part of both of Humboldt State's two goals in the Lumberjacks' victory over the visiting Cal State Dominguez Hills Toros. Making his first start in over two weeks,
Robert Quintero had ten saves in goal for the victors.
QUOTE FROM THE COACH: "Today was another good result for our guys, in a really tough game," said head coach
Fred Jungemann. "Dominguez pressed us early and got us out of our rhythm a bit. We got an early goal which certainly didn't hurt our confidence. From that point on though it was a pretty wide-open and even game. Both teams created plenty of chances, but our defense held strong. It was a frantic game and we could've kept our composure a bit better. In the end, we got a late goal that made the difference and sealed the points."
FIRST HALF: In the 52
nd second of the match,
Isaiah Dairo connected on his 11
th goal of the season off a double assist from
Devin Hauenstein and Marco Silviera to give Humboldt State the 1-0 lead. Silveira had two chances in the sixth minute to double the Lumberjacks' lead but Bryan Shihad stopped both attempts.
Robert Quintero made two huge saves in the 12
th minute to keep the score 1-0 Humboldt State. Dairo had a chance to double the Lumberjacks' lead in the 42
nd minute when Shiharad made another save. The Toros (4-10, 3-7 CCAA) had a chance to the match late in the match but Quintero made another save to send the match into the half with Humboldt State leading 1-0.
SECOND HALF: In the 56
th minute, HSU looked like it was going to double its lead when
Motoki Sato's shot sailed high over the net. Quintero made another of his ten saves in the 73
