The Rebels played a scoreless tie at No. 22 Santa Clara last Thursday in Santa Clara in UNLV’s only action of opening week.

The Rebels are at Loyola Marymount on Thursday night before returning home to host the Matadors. Andrew Sway made two saves as UNLV was outshot by Santa Clara 19-14 in the match.

CSUN and UNLV are playing men’s soccer for the first time since Sept. 20, 2013, when the Matadors defeated the Rebels 2-1 in Northridge. CSUN leads the all-time series 10-8.

ABOUT LAST WEEK
CSUN went 1-0-1 to begin the 2022 season. Freshman David Diaz scored the game winning goal in the 65th minute as CSUN defeated San Diego State in the 2022 men’s soccer opener. The Matadors got on the board at the 20:55 mark. Jack Rhead took the ball away from an Aztec defender, took three dribbles, and found Jamar Ricketts who scored from the right side. San Diego State tied the match 46 seconds later when CJ Fodry forced a turnover. He sent a pass to Donovan Roux who scored.

CSUN and SIUE played to a 1-1 men’s soccer tie Sunday night at Matador Soccer Field. Will Harris put the Cougars into the lead in the 15th minute when he headed in an Igancio Abeal Pou free kick. The Matadors tied the score in the 38th minute when Marley Edwards sent Idriss Oubrik on a run that resulted in Oubrik scoring from just in front of the SIUE goal.
