"We didn't play very well in the first half and I really got on them at halftime," said head coach Seamus McFadden. "We came out and played much better in the 2nd half. Northridge is a very good club and that was a big win for us. Guerrero's goal was an excellent shot and came at a very good time."
The winning goal was set up by Pohl who pased the ball to the left side for Guerrero who used the outside of his left foot to push it past Matador goalie Kevin Guppy. It was Guerrero's first goal of the season.
