Box Score

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --- NCAA Division I Loyola Marymount scored a pair of first half goals and made them stand in a rare Sunday afternoon non-conference 2-1 win over California Baptist in front of more than 400 people at Sullivan Field.

The loss is the Lancers' sixth straight as they drop to 1-6 overall. LMU improves to 4-3.

The Lions outshot the Lancers, 12-8 and struck first in the 17^th minute when Jay Singh converted a free kick from 25 yards out. His low liner skimmed the ground and beat Lancer keeper Josh Blanco to the far post.

LMU then doubled its advantage in the 34^th minute when David Niemeyer headed in a service from Pasquale Murillo to beat Blanco and give the Lions a 2-0 lead.

CBU got on the board and cut the deficit in half in the 76^th minute when Houtan Malayeri converted a penalty kick, beating Lion keeper Miguel Benitez. The Lancers, though, could muster another shot on the goal the rest of the way.

Casey Pradmore, who replaced Blanco after the intermission, collected a quartet of saves.
