ROHNERT PARK, Calif., -- The Cal State East Bay men's soccer team's late second half surge was not enough to propel them to victory in their 3-2 road loss to Sonoma State on Thursday afternoon, October 25 at Seawolf Soccer Field.

Sonoma State would add to their lead midway through the second half with a goal in the 66th minute of action as they took a 3-0 lead over the East Bay.
 
But the Pioneers would continue to get themselves back in the ball game as they scored two goals in the final 17 minutes of the match.
 
First in the 73rd minute, freshman Marco Campos (Hayward, Calif.) put in a shot to the top left corner of the goal after rebounding the ball off a SSU defender. For Campos, it was his Pioneer goal of his career.
