But with under a minute remaining, Vazquez-Acosta came through in the clutch, scoring the equalizer to secure a 1-1 draw. The Otters snapped a decade-long drought against Pomona, earning their first point since 2013.

In Sunday’s 2-2 tie against No. 25 Cal State San Bernardino, Vazquez-Acosta scored the equalizer in the 84th minute. The play began with Ramiro Corrales, Jr. delivering a corner kick to the far post, where Damon Smith headed the ball across to Vazquez-Acosta for the finish.

The Otters dominated offensively, outshooting the Yotes 20-8 with eight shots on goal. Vazquez-Acosta paced the team, recording three shots, two on goal, and the match’s decisive score.
