SEASIDE, Calif. – The Cal State San Marcos men's soccer team relied on its youth to make the difference in a 2-1 victory over Cal State Monterey Bay in California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) play on Friday afternoon at Otter Sports Complex.

Freshman Richard Flores put the Cougars in the lead in the 12^th minute with his first collegiate goal, beating the keeper after a nice through-ball from Diego Perez.
