 MATCH SUMMARY
  • The Pioneers wasted no time in asserting their dominance on the field. In the 26th minute, Ezekiel Anaya broke the deadlock, capitalizing on a perfectly timed long pass from Alan Gutierrez to give East Bay a 1-0 lead.
  • As the second half unfolded, the Pioneers' offensive prowess continutes. Gutierrez, not content with just an assist, found the net himself in the 64th minute. The goal came off a well-orchestrated play, with Leon Eisert providing a timely pass to the top of the box where Gutierrez was, and Andres Garcia-Diaz also contributing to the build-up. Gutierrez's first goal of the season extended East Bay's lead to 2-0.
  • The Pioneers' relentless attack continued, and in the 71st minute, they struck again. This time, it was Bennett Richards who showcased his opportunistic skills. After Aaron Farnan's initial shot was saved, Richards pounced on the rebound, slotting home his first goal for the Pioneers and stretching the lead to a commanding 3-0.
  • Sonoma State managed to avoid a shutout with Barry Calahane's goal in the 88th minute, but it was too little, too late as the Pioneers won 3-1.
