COUGARS-MUSTANGS PART OF FALL KICKOFF TRIPLEHEADER
Cal State San Marcos and The Master's College will be the first leg in a tripleheader of home games in CSUSM's Fall Kickoff on Tuesday. The women's soccer team follows with a match against Biola at 5:00 p.m. and the women's volleyball team will play No. 2 Concordia (Calif.) at 7:00 p.m. at Escondido High School.

TAILGATE TUESDAY
The University Student Union Advisory Board is hosting a free student tailgate to start the Fall Kickoff. The festivities will get underway at 2:00 p.m. on The Clarke Terrace. The tailgate will feature music, food, face painting and CSUSM spirit items. Then, at 2:40 p.m., fans will head down to the Multipurpose Field for the men's and women's soccer games. Free schedule posters will be distributed to all attendees.

RE-HASHING THE WEEK
CSUSM had a rough stretch on the road last week, falling to Pomona-Pitzer, 4-1, and Fresno Pacific, 4-0. Freshman Adrian Martinez provided the lone goal for the Cougars, scoring in the 51^st minute against the Sagehens for his first career score. Despite being winless in their first three games, there's cause for optimism from the Cougars; CSUSM lost its first three contests in 2011, but rebounded for five consecutive victories thereafter.

EARNING YOUR MASTER'S
CSUSM comes into Tuesday's match 0-3-2 all-time against The Master's College. After falling in their first two games of the season, the Mustangs have come back with three straight wins, including a 5-0 shutout of William Jessup on Sept. 8. Austin Rochow and Zach Egeler lead TMC with three goals apiece.

AS THE EAGLE FLIES
No. 7 Concordia (Calif.) will host CSUSM on Thursday in Irvine. The Eagles are undefeated over their last five games, including wins over NCAA Division II's Cal Poly Pomona (3-2) and No. 15 Kansas Wesleyan (4-1). Concordia's lone loss was in its opening game against NCAA DII opponent Grand Canyon (1-0). The Cougars are 1-1 all-time against the Eagles. Concordia won the last battle between the teams on Sept. 21, 2011, 1-0.
