SAN DIEGO – The San Diego State men’s soccer team (3-3-2) played UC Davis (4-2-2) to a 3-3 draw in front of a program record breaking crowd of 3,802 fans at Snapdragon Stadium Saturday evening.
All three of the Aztec goals gave them the lead only to see the Aggies come back to tie it up each time. Austin Brummett, Terence Okoeguale and Robbie Matei all scored and Okoeguale and Matei each had an assist.
