The Citrus College men’s soccer team was narrowly defeated 1-0 by Compton on September 29, 2026, extending the Owls’ losing streak to six games. Alexis Perez scored the only goal early in the first half, finding the net 7 minutes and 30 seconds into the match.
Despite the loss, Citrus College maintained strong offensive pressure, firing 12 shots—all on goal—compared to Compton’s 11 shots with 10 on target. Freshman forward Dominick Padilla led Citrus with a team-high four shots, distributing two attempts in each half. Goalkeeper Steven Clayton was active in goal for Citrus, making nine saves to keep the game close.
Over their current six-game skid, the Owls have produced 54 shots but have only scored four goals, underscoring their struggles to convert chances. Citrus will look to break their losing streak at L.A. Harbor on Friday at 6 p.m.
CSB Take
Citrus College men’s soccer continues to generate quality scoring opportunities, as evidenced by their 12 shots on goal against Compton. However, the inability to capitalize on these chances has deepened their losing streak and remains a critical hurdle. Improving finishing will be essential if Citrus hopes to turn momentum around as the season progresses.
