PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Portland Pilots extended their unbeaten streak to eight with a stellar 2-1 win over the CSU Bakersfield Roadrunners. Portland improved to 5-0-3 overall with the win.

How it Happened

  • Portland opened the scoring when Kevin Bonilla recorded his first goal of the season in the 22nd minute, assisted by Sebastian Nava.
  • The Pilots took a 2-0 lead on a goal from Gurman Sangha -- his second of the season -- in the 24th minute, assisted by Brandon Cambridge.
  • CSU Bakersfield closed the gap to 2-1 on Carlos Armendariz's 45th-minute goal, assisted by Jacob Fitzgerald. The 2-1 score held to the finish.

Game Notes

  • The Pilots remain unbeaten through their first eight games, the most since 2018.
  • Bonilla's goal was the first of the season for the defender and the second of his career.
  • Nava and Sangha move into a tie for second on the team in points at nine each. Cambridge stays the team leader with the assist, going to 13.
  • Portland's 19 goals through eight games is the most in a fall season since 2002.
  • Cambridge has earned a point in six of a possible eight matches.
Portland Head Coach Nick Carlin-Voigt on the win

"Well-earned win tonight as we controlled the majority of the game. Some phases we played so clean and simple and it was crisp and fluid and then other moments we made it much too difficult on ourselves. Our first goal was a incredibly well-executed team play finished off by Kevin Bonilla. Their keeper made some big saves and we needed to be a little sharper in both boxes. We could have put this game away earlier by being more clinical, but that's not how college soccer works as there are no easy games on the West Coast. We knew Bakersfield would come in and put up a good, committed fight which is exactly what they did. We will quickly learn from this match and prepare for Utah Tech Sunday night under the lights at Merlo."

Up Next

The Pilots have a quick turnaround with a showdown against the Utah Tech Trailblazers on Sunday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. Check PortlandPilots.com for live stats and video.
