Pioneers, Broncos Battle to Scoreless Draw

10/4/2013 8:44:00 PM

Box Score HAYWARD, Calif. – Cal State East Bay and Cal Poly Pomona went 110 minutes without scoring in Friday's California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) matchup at Pioneer Stadium. The Pioneers had several opportunities but Broncos goalkeeper Andrew Todd thwarted all six shots on goal.

"We had some great scoring chances and their goalkeeper came up big," said East Bay Head Coach Andy Cumbo.  "I am pleased with our performance and the opportunities we created…frustrated we were not able to score."

Cal State East Bay (2-6-1, 2-4-1 CCAA) was awarded a penalty kick after a Cal Poly Pomona (5-2-2, 3-2-2 CCAA) defender was whistled for a handball inside the 18-yard box. Jesus Magana's attempt towards the lower left corner was deflected off the base of the post by Andrew Todd.

The Pioneers went on the attack creating numerous scoring opportunities over the final minutes of regulation and all of overtime. Arnol Arceta's cross to Scott Dobson nearly provided the heroics late in regulation, but Todd was up for the challenge.

In overtime the Pioneers out shot the Broncos 6-1 including premium chances from Arceta and Javier Martin in the first overtime frame. Martin's strike on a loose ball from outside the 18-yard box screamed past the right post in the 95th minute.

Cal State East Bay senior Bryce Bookhamer made three saves. He has earned back-to-back shutouts, and not allowed a goal in three games spanning over 280 minutes of game action. The Broncos had scored seven times in the previous two games but were held without a goal on Friday.

Both squads entered Friday having won their previous two matches. Both teams leave Friday on three-match unbeaten streaks.

Cal State East Bay will host nationally ranked No. 10 UC San Diego (7-1-1, 5-1-1 CCAA) on Sunday, Oct. 6, at 2 p.m.
