Alassane Kane scored for second time in as many matches for the American University men's soccer team on Sunday, but it was not enough as the Eagles were edged, 2-1, by Cal State Northridge. The match was AU's second contest in the Wilson Titan Classic at Cal State Fullerton in Fullerton, Calif.

After a scoreless first half, Kane struck with the goal in the 47th minute. The opportunity was setup on a cross by Patrick Mehlert as Kane found the upper left portion of the net. For Kane, the goal is his 15th career score in 40 matches at AU.

Cal State Northridge (2-0), however, fired back with two goals over a three minute span to erase the 1-0 deficit and take the advantage. The game-tying goal came in the 51st minute as Edwin Rivas beat AU goalkeeper Billy Knutsen to the left post. Then what turned out to be the game-winning goal was scored by Beto Velasquez in the 54th minute off a feed from Yuval Barak.

Cal State Northridge outshot the Eagles by a 16-11 margin, including a 7-3 advantage in shots on goal. CSUN registered four corner kicks while AU had two.

Mehlert led AU with three shots in the match while both Kane and Ryan Morales recorded two. Knutsen made five saves in goal for the Eagles.

Following the tournament, Kane, Morales, and Cristobal Soto were selected to the Wilson Titan Classic All-Tournament Team.

American will return to Washington to host the annual D.C. College Cup this weekend. AU will first take on Howard this Thursday, August 30 at 5 p.m. before welcoming George Mason to Reeves Field on Saturday, September 1 at 3 p.m. Both matches will be available on Eagles Vision TV, part of AUeagles.com.
