Joyner's Goal Gives Warriors Victory

After eighty-four minutes of scoreless soccer, Westmont's Jake Joyner scored an unassisted goal to give the Warriors (7-6-2, 4-4-2) a 1-0 victory over California Baptist (7-7-3, 3-5-2) in the final regular season game for both squads. The two teams entered the day tied for sixth place in the Golden State Athletic Conference standings.

As a result of the win, Westmont claims the sixth seeded in the upcoming GSAC Tournament and will play at #15 Vanguard (9-5-2, 7-2-1 GSAC) in the first round. The game will be held in Costa Mesa at two o'clock on Wednesday, November 5.

California Baptist will be the eighth seed in the tournament and will face top-seeded and twelfth-ranked Azusa Pacific (11-3-3, 8-1-1). Azusa earned the conference regular season championship by defeating Vanguard 2-1 in double-overtime. The final goal came with less than 20 seconds remaining in the final overtime period.

The Cougars and Lions entered the day tied for second, two points in the standings behind #7 Concordia (11-5-1, 8-2 GSAC) which had already finished conference play. Had the Vanguard-Azusa Pacific game ended in a tie, Concordia would have won the GSAC regular season championship.

Second-seeded Concordia will host seventh-seed Biola (8-6-2, 3-5-2 GSAC) on Wednesday in first-round action and The Master's (10-2-4, 5-2-3 GSAC), which is the number four seed, will host fifth-seeded Fresno Pacific (9-5-1, 5-4-1 GSAC).

The semifinals of the GSAC Tournament will take place on Saturday, November 8 with the championship game being played one week later on November 15.
