POMONA, Calif. - Friday was a historic day for the Cal State San Bernardino men's soccer program, which earned its first-ever bid to the CCAA Tournament title match. The No. 2-seeded Coyotes scored three unanswered goals in the second half to defeat the No. 6 seed, Cal Poly Pomona, 3-1 and earn a berth in the CCAA Men's Soccer Tournament championship game.
 
CSUSB trailed from the fifth minute until late in the second half when they broke through with three goals in 16 minutes. Anthony Luna found the equalizer in the 69th minute, sending a rocket into the net from 24 yards out.
 
Diego Lopez gave the Coyotes their first lead of the day less than 150 seconds later when he made a great run with Alix Soukup and finished it with a shot right under the legs of the sprawling keeper.
 
Lopez added another score in the 85th minute when he and Soukup made another run and went 2v1 with the defender. Lopez gathered on the box and beat the keeper with a high shot to send CSUSB to the championship match. Soukup assisted on all three goals and is now tied for fourth in the conference with six.
 
Kaden Gust had six saves for CPP, and Donovan Palomares made three for CSUSB.
