While the rivalry is one that expands across generations of athletes, students and fans, the classic match has consistently increased in popularity on a national scale. Since the start of the 2007 season, the total amount of people that have witnessed the Gaucho-Mustang battle exceeds the 200,000 mark. The contest has even surpassed the attendance numbers of postseason competition that has occurred in both NCAA Tournament and College Cup games, resulting in eight of the highest attended collegiate games in the U.S. in the last four years. Although on the road, last Saturday’s attendance of 11,075 signaled the seventh sellout for a Cal Poly men’s soccer game in program history. It is a game that has sold out Alex G. Spanos Stadium for the past six seasons. Increasing in size with the addition of 1,097 attendees, the attendance of the last five meetings between UCSB and Cal Poly — dating back to 2011-2015 — has not fell below the total of 12,805. Well deserving of its moniker as the “Soccer Heaven” of collegiate soccer, Harder Stadium has been a hub to the multitude of attendance records set over the years. Over the course of nine straight years, UCSB has led Division I men’s soccer in average attendance. For the last two seasons, it has recorded the top average of 3,844 fans DUSTIN HARRIS / DAILY NEXUS per match.

His 17 total points also rank him first on his during the Tim Vom Steeg era. The win was also a huge confidence boost as team, third in the Big West. last year UCSB was winless in the two-match series going 0-1-1. Despite his great offense play, no other Mustang really comes to mind. Last season’s match at Harder Stadium was certainly an instant classic. The Despite not scoring in last week’s match, the senior assisted in the only goal game attracted 14,919 spectators, the second-largest campus crowd in NCAA scored by Cal Poly in that game as freshman midfielder Christian Enriquez history, and ended in a stunning 2-2 tie after Cal Poly scored the equalizer scored the first goal of his young career. with only six seconds left, overcoming what seemed to be an insurmountable One player to watch out for is Kody Wakasa.

All three players are in the top-five goal scorers in the conference in goals scored with seven. The winger has scored 70 percent of Big West. Feucht’s 10 goals rank first in the conference while also ranking seventh best in the entire nation. The midfielder scored the equalizer to help send the game into overtime against UC Davis on Wednesday. Because of the Feucht’s goal, DePuy was able to score the 16th game winner of his career in front of the Aggies home stadium. Despite not having the season he had last year when he scored 15 goals and led the entire nation, the striker has still made a significant impact. In his career, the senior has scored four goals in seven appearances against the Mustangs. Last, but certainly not least on the list, is Selemani. Although not extending his goal streak to five matches after failing to score against UC Davis, the junior had the key assist to Feucht’s equalizer. In two of his three career appearances against Cal Poly, the junior has scored a goal and his six goals this season rank second best on the team, tied with DePuy. On the back end, the Gauchos have been solid thanks to the play of freshman Le Roux. The goalkeeper ranks third in the conference with 60 saves and has not allowed more than one goal in his last six matches; he is a respectable player, having done all this without missing a single minute in 16 starts this season. While, on paper, Santa Barbara clearly looks like the more dominant team, Cal Poly certainly has the tenacity to make this an interesting match. If last Saturday’s match was any indicator, the Gauchos might have their hands full this weekend if they are not careful. As recognized by most fans of college soccer, the Blue-Green clash is the best soccer rivalry in college soccer to date, and with that title comes the responsibility to give fans the greatest game they could possibly witness.

UCSB and LBSU have met once this season, at the Mountain Pacific Invitational, in a match that ultimately went the 49ers’ way as they cruised to a solid 9-6 victory. At the time, Santa Barbara was ranked No. 6 in the country while the No. 7 spot belonged to Long Beach State. The two positions flipped after the loss and have stayed that way ever since. Knowing this, not only is this a match for conference supremacy but also for bragging rights as to who can rightfully claim that No. 6 spot. As this match will be played at home for the Gauchos and will be their second night game this season, they will have a great mindset knowing they will have a rambunctious, energetic crowd behind them like the one in attendance last week against San Jose State, their conference opener. However, facing the Spartans and facing the 49ers are two different stories. Even before this season, LBSU and UCSB have been conference rivals during their time in the MPSF. These two programs have played a total of 118 matches with the majority of the wins going to the Beach, who hold a 60-58 record all-time. The talent level Santa Barbara will be facing in this conference match will be much different, something it knows all to well after its last meeting just a couple of weeks ago. In that match, attacker Nolan McConnell led all scorers with four goals, all in the first half for Long Beach State. By the end of the first frame, the senior already tallied a hat trick. This season the senior ranks third in the GCC in goals with 31, best on his team, and leads his team in points with 33. In the cage for the Beach, sophomore Thomas Freeman has excelled; he currently has the best save percentage of any player with two or more starts in the Golden Coast at .667, while his goals allowed per game is also tops with six Nexus File Photo

STEPHEN MANGA / DAILY NEXUS Billingsley, who played at the U-20s World Cup two years ago for the New Zealand side, has become a key piece of UCSB’s marauding attack, with two goals and two assists. To the credit of his growth over the year, the winger’s dribbling and passing behind striker Nick DePuy has been increasingly noticeable as the year goes on as he grows into his starting role. Amo’s injury forced him to endure a testing month of recovery as the promising midfielder eagerly worked his way back into training. His rehab has almost paid its dividends as he prepares to make a brief cameo in Saturday’s home leg of the Blue-Green rivalry. “It was frustrating and it hurts, but, I mean, it’s part of the game. But my teammates were right there, very supportive, so I never thought ‘I’m done,’” Amo said. ”They were always there reminding me, like, ‘Oh, you gotta go to rehab.’ The guys were all supportive, so it made it — I wouldn’t say okay because it’s still an injury — but they made it comfortable to be around and go to the games.” In his time out, the Accra, Ghana native credited the team’s welcoming and supportive team spirit with helping him through the recovery process. One teammate Amo thanked specifically was senior midfielder Seo-In Kim, who was recovering from a long-term injury alongside him. The two spent hours in the gym together fighting back to full strength, and now that both players are back in the rotation, Amo and Kim will get to play together for the first time at some point during the last few games of conference play. “It’s amazing to see Seo get ready to play because when I got here I didn’t get to see him play, so I wanted to see him play,” Amo said. “He had a lot of sessions with me and I was like, ‘Oh my god, I want to see Seo play.’ This weekend at Cal Poly we were just knocking the ball around and it made me so excited to have him on the field.” Nexus File Photo 10 Thursday, October 20, 2016 Artsweek Daily Nexus ARTSWEEK Arlington Theatre Laps Up a Case of James Blake The London electro-soul wonder — known for his sweeping vocal range and his work producing with the likes of Beyoncé and Frank Ocean — stopped by on the California leg of his tour

Apart from a minor technical problem which incited Blake to charmingly scrap a song in the middle of it, the performance went off without a hitch.

Even out grounds and make a small divot in the middle. 3. Place cone on top of mug or carafe. 4. Bring water to a boil and pour enough to dampen coffee into cone; let rest 30 seconds. 5. e Pour th rest of the water slowly, in concentric circles, trying to maintain a constant volume in the cone. 6. Allow coffee to drain out, then enjoy!

When first dampening the grounds and letting them rest, the coffee is “blooming.” This improves diffusion by keeping the coffee from clumping together immediately. The same technique is used with a French press.
