SANTA CRUZ -- The UCSC Men's Soccer team ended up tying CSU Hayward on Friday, in a matchup of two of the western region's best teams.

After going the first 76 minutes of the match without seeing a goal, a sudden offensive flurry would erase the zeroes from the scoreboard but could do nothing to decide a result.

Gorhis Robels scored in the 77th minute to give CSU Hayward a 1-0 lead.

Less than a minute-and-a-half later, UCSC Midfielder Josh Lederer scored off of an assist by Freshman Forward Preston Greene to tie the game.

The physical nature of the match was indicated by a combined 44 fouls and 4 yellow cards.

The team's record now stands at 10-3-2 with three tough matches remaining, all of them on the road.

For their next match, the team will head down to Chapman on Friday, and will finish with matches at Cal Lutheran and then a rematch at Hayward.

Notes: The goal was Lederer's sixth on the year, making him UCSC's 3rd leading goal scorer behind the Freshmen duo of Marcus Hammel and Bryan Baird.
