In an attempt to protect his player, Davila questioned head referee Des O'Sullivan about the incident and promptly received a red card of his own. ``I'm surprised about my red card. The referee made an emotional decision,'' Davila said. ``Do I think it was warranted? It was a little quick.'' It was quick and painful, considering Miranda and Davila won't be able to participate in the Matadors' next game; NCAA NCAA abbr.

CSUN CSUN California State University Northridge (5-1-2) entered the game as one of two unbeaten teams in Division I. It moved up to No. 15 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll - its highest position ever. On the other hand, San Diego (6-2-2) was unranked but clearly the better team from start to finish. The Toreros played the majority of the first half on the CSUN half of the field and scored the game's first goal in the 29th minute on a set piece. Eric Wunderle put the play in motion on a free kick directed toward Wilson, who sent the ball across the penalty box. Sy Reeves received the pass, heading the ball past diving goalkeeper Radames LaFaurie. The Toreros weren't finished. Less than five minutes later, Wunderle scored on a pass from Michael Caso, a Hart High of Newhall graduate, giving San Diego a 2-0 halftime lead. CSUN opened the second half similar to the way it finished the first: sluggishly. San Diego took advantage, extending the lead to 3-0 on Wunderle's second goal of the game minutes into the second half. Frustration set in shortly thereafter, as Yossi Raz picked up a yellow card and Miranda followed with a red. ``It's not so much about what we didn't do, it's about what they did,'' Davila said.
