Northridge, Calif. - UC Davis overcame a first half red card and picked up another two points in the Big West standings with a 1-0 win over CSUN in Northridge on Saturday night. 

After a challenging start to the season, the Aggies have now won consecutive games for the first time in 2022 and are now one of only three teams in the Big West with seven points in the standings. 

Ryan Dieter's goal in the 11th minute off a pass played in by Max Glasser to the left-hand side of the goal and tapped in proved to be the difference as the Aggies won despite being outshot 12-3. Dieter's goal was his first of the season while Glasser earned his third assist of the season and ninth of his career. Dieter had both of UC Davis' shots on goal. 

The Aggies (3-6-3, 2-1-1) were dealt a blow in the 42nd minute when Keegan Walwyn-Bent was shown a red card for blocking a free kick by the Matadors. Despite playing a man down for the next 47:37, a strong UC Davis defense led by Charles Janssen earned its second straight clean sheet. The shutout was Janssen's fourth of the season and he now leads all Big West keepers in goals against average at .887. 

UC Davis will return home for a two-game homestand next week with games against CSU Bakersfield and Cal State Fullerton on the schedule.
