POMONA, Calif. – The Cal Poly Pomona men's soccer team heads north to challenge the Cal State East Bay Pioneers on Friday with a 4:30 p.m. start at Pioneer Stadium in Hayward. This is to be the only meeting of the two squads during the regular season.

CSUEB has had three games get sent to overtime this season, and all of them ended up being won by the opposition. The Broncos have had three overtime matches thus far in 2015, and all three of the scored remained tied and account for CPP's three ties.

The two teams battled for 110 minutes of play time and each team scored only once. After that, a round of penalty kicks ensued and the Broncos defeated the home town Warriors 3-0. The win gave the Broncos their first even CCAA Championship Title.
 
All-time the record between both squads is 10-6-2 in CPP's favor. Prior to hosting the Broncos, the Warriors (10-1, 5-1 CCAA) will host Cal State San Bernardino on Friday.
