Titans Beat Blue Star in Final Tune-Up Aug. 28, 2004 – Fullerton, Calif.
Ignacio Cid and Alfredo Tapia scored second-half goals to carry Cal State
Fullerton to a 3-2 victory Saturday over Blue Star (development team)
in the final men's soccer exhibition prior to the 2004 season.
Cid blasted in a shot from about 20 yards in the 17th minute of the second
half to break a 1-1 tie. Tapia headed in a cross from Allen Chote about
10 minutes later for what proved to be the decisive score when Robbie
Rogers scored for Blue Star with approximately 5 minutes to play.
Fullerton had taken a 1-0 lead in the 12th minute when Chote set up German
Moreno for a header. Blue Star tied it in the final minute of the first
half when Steve Patterson knocked in a penalty kick.
Fullerton opens its season and the Big West Conference schedule Friday
night at home against UC Riverside. The match is part of a tournament
that also includes UCLA and Oakland University.
