By: Aaron Salazar POMONA, Calif. - The Cal Poly Pomona men's soccer team will complete their regular season schedule with two games this week at Kellogg Field.
The third-place Broncos enter the week with a 6-2-2 record in California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) play. They own an overall record of 9-2-3 on the season, good enough for third in the
West Region.
On Thursday, the Green and Gold take on the Humboldt State Jacks at 3 p.m. at Kellogg Field. The Jacks enter the contest with a 0-8-2 record in CCAA play en route to a 1-11-2 record on the year.
This will be the only time that the two teams compete this year. Last season, CPP secured a 2-1 victory at College Creek Field in Arcata.
After Thursday's game, the Broncos will host the Sonoma State Seawolves on Saturday at 2 p.m. SSU will head to Kellogg Field after a matchup with the Cal State San Bernardino Coyotes on Thursday. Their record currently sits at 5-4-1 in CCAA play with an overall tally of 9-5-2.
This is the only matchup of the season for these two teams, but the Green and Gold will be out to avenge their lone loss of the 2014 season. SSU defeated the then No. 8 Broncos 2-1 and ended the Broncos' 16-game undefeated streak.
The game marks the annual senior day event the Broncos host each year. The contest will mark the final regular season game in Green and Gold that
Fernando Pablo Quevedo,
Christian Gonzalez Diaz,
Michael Torres,
Kris Korich,
Elliott Bonde,
Aaron Macedo,
Alexander Turkson, and
Justyn Peeples will play.
Fans are encouraged to take advantage of the game falling on Halloween as a costume contest will be held at halftime, the winner of which will receive a $50 gift card redeemable on Cal Poly Pomona's campus.
