The Yotes are 1-1 so far on the year after a win on Saturday over Fresno Pacific University 2-0. CSUSB is averaging 17 shots per game, compared to ACU’s 14.8. The Yotes’ only loss this year came against Biola University, a game in which CSUSB led at halftime 2-1. The Firestorm will look to take advantage of their ability to maintain high energy throughout the match.
Providence Christian
In 2022 so far the Sea Beggars are 0-1-1. Following a shutout loss to Occidental College out of Los Angeles, Providence will be eager to break into the win column. Their offense is off to a slow start this season, having only recorded 8 shots and 1 goal in two games played.
