FULLERTON, Calif. - The University of Maine men's soccer team wrapped-up their West Coast trip on Sunday afternoon with a 3-0 loss at Cal State Fullerton. Skyler Thuresson headed in the first goal and Eugene Brooks added two more scores in the home opener for the Titans. Cal State Fullerton improves to 3-3-1 on the season, while the Black Bears fall to 0-8. Thuresson headed in a rebound off Maine goalkeeper Dereck Loisel (Warwick, R.I.) in the 27th minute. Amir Shafii and Michael Farfan set up the score, which came on Fullerton's sixth corner kick of the first half. Brooks took a long free kick from Farfan less than two minutes later and bounced the ball low past Loisel to make it 2-0. Brooks left-footed a volley from Jacob Shumway less than four minutes into the second half for the final tally. Maine was outshot 34 to three in the game, with two of the shots from Martin John (Ottawa, Ontario). Cal State Fullerton had a twelve to four advantage on corner kicks.
