‘Birds Freeze Dominican to Earn Three Points

FRESNO, Calif. – The Fresno Pacific men's soccer team picked up their first conference win of the season on Wednesday night, defeating Dominican 2-1 at Ramirez Field. 
 
INSIDE THE MATCHUP:

QUOTABLE:
  • "It's been typical for us to start strong and apply a lot of pressure early, but the substitutions we made in the second half were significant for us tonight. We had multiple guys come off the bench that gave us a different and much-needed effort, and we're pleased with the three points," head coach Jaime Ramirez said. "Momentum against a solid team is important, and we want to make sure our boys know that next week is a business trip. We want to bring back nine points."
