CLASHING WITH THE COUGARS

Cal State San Marcos (3-1-2) comes into Friday's contest seeking to maintain traction in CCAA play. The Cougars come into this matchup after defeating CSUSB in a tight contest, 1-0. This matchup marks the ninth meeting between both teams as the Lumberjacks look to maintain offensive precision while keeping composure defensively to contain the Cougars' attack.

TASKED WITH THE TOROS

Cal State Dominguez Hills (3-3-1) enters Sunday's match aiming to find their groove after a pair of losses at the end of non-conference play. Humboldt will need to sustain its attacking efficiency and defensive intensity to counter the Toros'.
