Senior forward Miles Rice led the Wildcats (7-1-2, 1-0-2 CCAA) to a 2-0 victory over the San Francisco State Gators (0-6-3, 0-2-1 CCAA) Friday afternoon.
Rice scored two goals in the 53rd and 71st minutes of Friday’s California Collegiate Athletic Association matchup, giving the Wildcats their first conference win of the year after two ties last weekend.
The win earned them three points to landing Chico State tied fifth in the CCAA standings, with the Cal State Dominguez Hills Toros.
The match was extremely physical and came with a total of eight yellow cards, seven of which being shown to the Gators. Chico State more than doubled the Gators shot attempts, outshooting them 15-9. However, both sides were equal in shots on goal.
The Wildcats are back on the pitch Sunday at 11:30 a.m. in Seaside to take on the Cal State Monterey Bay Otters (3-2-3, 0-1-1 CCAA).
