LOS ANGELES – Gael Quintero scored his first goal in a Lions uniform and the LMU men's soccer team drew with UC Davis 1-1 on Wednesday night in front of a raucous crowd at Sullivan Field.  

 

The Lions outshot the Aggies 13-7 and had an 8-4 advantage with shots on target as well. 

 

Lewis Clutton notched the first chance of the night with a right-footed effort towards the middle of the net that was saved by the visiting goalkeeper in the 5th minute.  

 

Massimo Oedekoven Pomponi was up to it in the first half as well. He recorded the first of three saves in the 7th minute with a nicely timed punch. 

 

Bradyn Knutson found some space at the back post in the 24th minute, but his headed effort was off-target.  

 

The breakthrough came on the half-hour mark as Ryan Kingsford found space on the left side and slid a dangerous cross across the face of goal. Quintero instinctively got a foot to the ball that popped up and over the sliding keeper and off the crossbar down into the goal.  

 

Jovan Prado took a rip late in the first half, but his well-struck effort was blocked by the Aggies defense. 

 

Steven Anderson let loose three shots early in the second half. 

 

The first was a tough angle shot from along the endline. He used his pace to get past his man and whizzed a left footed effort that the goalkeeper touched away.  

 

Less than a minute later, he fired another effort low and true. It seemed destined for the bottom left corner of the net, but a smart save kept the ball out.  

 

Anderson was again the shot-taker just two minutes later, firing a left-footed shot into the outside of the net. The stands erupted for what looked at their angle like a screamer, but instead was ruled a goal kick. 

 

The Aggie equalizer came in the 75th minute on a nicely flighted ball that was headed home with conviction. 

 

The Lions had a chance to go ahead in the 81st minute when true freshman center back Nathan Rodrigues carried the ball forward and took a long-range effort that curled into the ground before the goalkeeper could safely catch it. The spill allowed Jovan Prado to take a shot, but his shot found the goalkeeper laying on the ground and then went out for a goal kick.  

 

The homestand continues on Sunday, September 10 for a matinee matchup with Sacramento State. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. (PT) at Sullivan Field.
