Livestream Box Score

SANTA ANA, Calif. - Sophomore midfielder Randy Castillo put the Dons (0-2) on top with the first goal of the match in the 52nd minute, but it wasn't enough as the Long Beach City Vikings (1-1) came back to score two down the stretch to take the win.

Although SAC held a 11-9 advantage in shot attempts, including seven on goal, they just couldn't put them away to even the score. 

Freshman Carlos Valentin got the start at goalkeeper and had a decent day with two saves while sophomore defender Raul Vazquez picked up his first assist of the season on the cross to Castillo. 

The Dons will go on the road for their next match as they face off against the defending 3C2A State Champions in Cuyamaca College. Game time is set for 4:00 p.m.
