Dave Wolf took his Warriors to Point Loma Nazarene to do battle with his brother Phil's Sea Lions. Unfortunately for the Warriors (3-2), the young brother got the better of the older as Point Loma recorded a 3-1 win.
All of the scoring occurred in the first half. In just the fourth minute, Indiana Fuller touched in a pass from Will Cline to put the Sea Lions up 1-0. Cline then scored the next two goals. In the 18th minute, Cline scored from the top of the box on a pass from Eduardo Gallardo. In 30th minute, Cline scored an unassisted goal after he dribbled through the Warrior defense.
Westmont's lone goal came in the 41st minute when
Gabe Thurner converted a penalty kick.
The game brought to a conclusion the Warriors' non-conference season. Both of the Warriors' losses have come against NCAA Division II teams. Against NAIA schools, the Warriors are 3-0.
Next week Westmont begins Golden State Athletic Conference play. On Tuesday, the Warriors will travel to Fullerton for a game against Hope International (5-0-2). On Saturday, Westmont will host San Diego Christian (5-3) in a men's and women's doubleheader. The men will play first at noon, followed by the women at 2:30.
