Cal State Dominguez Hills Upsets UC Davis in Men's Soccer
November 4, 1999

ROHNERT PARK, CA -- Scott White scored with 10 minutes remaining to complete a second-half comeback and lead unranked Cal State Dominguez Hills to a 2-1 upset win over No. 7 UC Davis in the second semifinal of the California Collegiate Athletic Association Men's Soccer Championship Tournament on Thursday.

White took a pass in front from Juan Carlos Bolanos and tapped home the game-winner past Aggie goalie Adrian Del Rio in the 80th minute to complete the comeback for the Toros, who improved to 11-9 and will meet No. 18 Grand Canyon for the league championship on Saturday at 1 p.m. The Toros, making their first post season appearance since 1988, avenged a 1-0 defeat at the hands of UC Davis earlier in the season.

"We battled with them. We know we were as good as them and we just proved we could play with them today," said CSUDH head coach Joe Flanagan, who celebrated his 32nd birthday in style on Thursday. "This tournament gave us a chance to show what we could do."

UC Davis, still in contention for an NCAA Championship tournament berth, fell to 15-2-2 on the year and after dropping its first contest to a CCAA opponent in 1999.

The Aggies, who finished the contest with just six shots on goal, converted one of their few opportunities in the opening period when Matt DeJong scored from 10 yards out midway through the first half.

The tide turned nearly 20 minutes into the second half, however, when UCD starting goalie Jason Kong was assessed a red card and ejected for fouling CSUDH's Matt Montoya in the penalty box. Montoya, who had to leave the contest with an ankle injury, was replaced on the penalty kick by Bolanos, who notched his 14th goal of the season to tie the score.

Playing with a man down, the Aggies attempted to take the lead, but DeJong's shot in the 75th minute just missed. The Toros didn't miss the chance to seize the lead, however, as White knocked home the game-winner. UCD had one final chance to tie late, but Sean Buchanan's blast hit the left post.
