After an impressive victory in its season opener last Friday, the San Bernardino Valley College men's soccer team was looking to avoid a letdown against Palomar College on Tuesday evening.

Nine minutes in, it wasn't looking good. 

An early Palomar goal put the Wolverines down 1-0 early. But from that point on, SBVC took control of the game, scoring the next three goals and shutting down the Comets' attack as SBVC picked up a 3-1 victory.

The Wolverines broke through in the 28th minute, as Isaac Huerta converted a centering pass from Daniel Rodas to tie the game.

SBVC took the lead in the 39th minute, as Jeremy Huerta blasted a shot from just outside the penalty area that deflected off a nearby Palomar defender sending the ball bounding high in the air and floating over the outstretched hands of Palomar goalkeeper Pablo Aldeco to give the Wolverines a 2-1 lead at the half.

A chance to extend the lead came early in the second half as Palomar was whistled for a foul in the penalty area setting a penalty kick. But Ezequiel Soto's penalty bounced off the cross bar and Melvin Curiel's rebound attempt was stopped by substitute goalkeeper Amanueal Kidanemariam to keep the game at 2-1.

But in the 72nd minute, Jesus Pineda sent a long ball down the left side that Eric Ramos ran down. He controlled it down with his head, then blasted a shot past Kidanemariam for the final score.

Matthew Guzman made two saves to pick up the win in goal, while the Wolverines outshot Palomar 25-4 in the game.
