Portland Shuts Down Cal Poly With 5-0 Victory

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Portland Pilots held the Cal Poly Mustangs scoreless and cruised to a 5-0 shutout win Friday at home at Merlo Field. Portland improved to 1-0-2 overall following the win, going unbeaten through their first three games for the first time since 2018.

How it Happened

  • Portland opened the scoring when Gurman Sangha scored his first goal of the season in the 21st minute, assisted by Sebastian Nava and Nick Fernandez. The goal put Sangha at five points on the year. 
  • The Pilots increased their lead to 2-0 on a goal from Jake Arteaga -- his first goal of the season -- in the 30th minute off a set piece. It was also his first goal since 2018, his freshman season.
  • Portland built its lead to 3-0 on Nava's 39th-minute goal, his second of the season. CJ Tibbling assisted the goal. Nava's goal puts him at a team-high seven points.
  • The Pilots kept Cal Poly off the scoreboard and grabbed a 4-0 lead with a 60th-minute goal from Tibbling, his first goal of the season and as a Pilot. Brandon Cambridge and Kevin Bonilla assisted the goal.
  • Portland expanded its lead to make it a 5-0 game on Michael Hatcher's first goal of the season and his career in the 85th minute, assisted by Jacob McDaniel. The match ended without another goal scored.

Game Notes

  • Portland is unbeaten through their first three games for the first time since 2018.
  • With 10 goals through three games, that's the most the Pilots have had against Division I opponents to open the season since 2017.
  • Nava now leads the Pilots with seven points.
  • The goals from Hatcher and Tibbling are the first ones of their Pilot careers.
  • This is the first shutout of the season for the Pilots.

Head Coach Nick Carlin-Voigt on the win

"It was good to get off to a good start. Obviously scored goals in different ways tonight, and we have a good group... you saw moments where we were clicking and then other moments where we're going to have to play better... Good win, comprehensive... as you can see, we're scoring goals. We have 10 goals in three games and we can play much better."
