SEASIDE - Evan Armstrong scored the equalizing goal, assisted by Chris Akwaja, but the Chico State men's soccer team fell to Cal State Monterey Bay 2-1 in the season finale for both teams Sunday. The Wildcats finished their 2009 campaign 8-8-4 overall and 5-7-4 in the California Collegiate Athletic Association.

But the Otters retook the lead three minutes later, and held the Wildcats at bay throughout the second half. Cal State Monterey Bay finished its season 6-11-3 overall and 5-8-3 in the CCAA.
Chris Akwaja assisted on the Wildcats' goal.
Along with Armstrong, Adam Raish, Michael Keohane, Kyle Crain, and Kyle Conrad were playing the final collegiate match for the Wildcats.
Chico State outshot Cal State Monterey Bay 15-5, and earned a 3-0 edge in corner kicks, but Brenden Baca had seven saves for the Otters, while his teammates helped him out with an astonishing five others.

Wildcats of the Week

Men's Golf
Sylvester Gama carded three consecutive sub-par rounds and finished alone in second place at 7-under par at the Coyote Classic last Monday and Tuesday. Gama, competing as an individual, finished six strokes clear of third place in a standout performance that was bettered only by Cal State San Bernardino's Gene Webster, Jr.
Gama went 2-under in the opening round on the par-70 course at Arrowhead Country Club. He went 1-under in the afternoon. And on Tuesday, Gama's 66 was bettered only by Webster and matched his teammate Kyle Souza for the third lowest round of the tournament.
A 6-foot senior from Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara CC), Gama has now gone under par in eight of his 16 rounds of the 2009-10 season. His stroke average of 72.1 is second on the Wildcats as are his three top-five finishes.
Those efforts have made him easily the team's most improved player thus far this season. His stroke average was 75.3 last season and he had just one top-10 finish - an eighth-place finish at the CCAA Championships.

Women's Track
There’s something about the annual Chico Multi that always brings out the best in heptathlete Kelly Clancey. For the second straight year, the junior from Modesto earned an NCAA Championships provisional bid in the heptathlon during the two-day Chico Multi, collecting 4,743 total points over the seven events, easily surpassing the 4,400 points needed to secure the provisional bid.
Clancey was the dominant athlete in the 12-person field, taking first place in four of the seven hepthatlon events. She took top honors in the high jump (5 feet, 3.25 inches), long jump (17 feet, 9.5 inches), 100-meter hurdles (15.42 seconds) and the 800-meter run (2 minutes, 20.25 second), while finishing second in the 200-meter dash (26.34 seconds), fourth in the shot put and sixth in the javelin throw.
Clancey, already well ahead of last season's schedule in which she scored a 4,400 in the Chico Multi and went on to post a career-best 4,811 at the CCAA Championships and advance to the NCAA Championships, will try to better her provisional mark March 24-25 at the California Multi, hosted by UC Berkeley.
