Dominguez Becomes Champion

MIAMI — It took four overtimes and two goals by Victor Guerrero but the Cal State Dominguez Hills men’s soccer team earned its first NCAA Division II national soccer championship with a 2-1 victory Sunday over Barry (Fla.) University.

Guerrero, a freshman midfielder from Century High, connected on a header 3:44 into the fourth overtime off a direct kick from Sean Lockhart from 26 yards out.

Dominguez, ranked No. 1 in the nation since November 8, trailed, 1-0, at the half on a goal by Barry’s Fitzgerald Clarke. Guerrero tied it in the 65th minute with a header off a free kick from Tony de Vocht.

“This was lucky No. 13 for us,” said Dominguez Coach Joe Flanagan of the Toros’ 13th consecutive victory. “This is a dream come true. My team and I will remember this game for the rest of our lives.”
