Cal Poly beats Lamar with a pair of late goals

Sorry, Alex Crozier. I should have left earlier.

With Cal Poly down 1-0 to Lamar, I had watched 70-plus minutes of action. There had been a saved penalty by the Lamar goalkeeper and several other potential scoring chances for Cal Poly that had not found the back of the net.

With a honey-do list that wasn’t getting any smaller, I figured I had taken all the photos I’d need and the photographer next to me remarked that maybe this wasn’t Cal Poly’s day.

So I left.

By the time I drove back out past the stadium, the Mustangs had tied the game. Sophomore Kendra Bonsall had evened the match in the 79th minute I was told via text.

Before I was home, the next text came.

“Krieghoff too.”

Boom. 2-1. Ballgame.

Maybe I need to stay for all 90 minutes next time. That, or leave earlier.
