Pomona-Pitzer Goal: Max DeWit rebounded and scored a free kick that Oxy goalkeeper Theo Atkinson made a diving save on in the 59th minute.

Second-Half Scare: Pomona-Pitzer's best chance to even the game came on a loose ball in the Oxy box that found the feet of JK Gopakumar whose shot from inside the 6-yard box was saved by a diving Atkinson

Oxy 1st Half Chances: Zack Conrad hit the post on a free kick from 25 yards out in the 23rd minute.

Michael Tonetti nearly put away a similar opportunity on a free kick 4 minutes later from the left side of the box, but Mitchell made a save at the near post. 

Best Pomona-Pitzer 1st Half chance: Alan Peral had the Sagehens best chance of the first half, missing a good look at a right-footed shot high.

Packing the stands: The Tigers are averaging more than 500 people at their home games filled mostly with Oxy students.
