MEN’S SOCCER Spartans can’t pick up win in front of record crowd

BY SAMANTHA VERDUGO STAFF WRITER San Jose State inched closer to their conference schedule over the weekend with two games played at home. The fi rst game was played Friday night at CEFCU Stadium in front of over 1,000 fans. It was the largest crowd to watch an SJSU men’s soccer game at home since 2007. “It felt like we had a lot of support from the community, it motivated us to play good and we fed off their energy,” said junior midfi elder Leo Silva. “The environment was great and we would like to have a crowd like that at every game.” SJSU went on to tie the game 2-2 in double overtime against UC Riverside with goals from sophomores Andrew Mendoza and Zach Penner. Mendoza scored inside the 18, after playing a give- and-go with senior midfi elder Alex Alcaraz. This was Mendoza’s second goal of the season. Penner scored his fi rst goal of the season as he outbeat UCR’s defender causing a turnover inside the 18 shooting past UCR’s goalkeeper. During halftime, fans including local youth club teams and SJSU students had the opportunity to walk on the fi eld where they joined both Sammy the Spartan and San Jose Earthquakes mascot “Q” in a ‘juggle-a-thon.’ The Spartans played their second game on Sunday afternoon, this time on the SJSU Practice Facility fi eld. The teams battled back and forth but neither team was able to fi nd the back of the net. It was tied at half. In the second half it was more of the same. The game was a defensive showdown between two teams desparate for a win. The game would go on to overtime, the fourth overtime game for the Spartans this year.
