ANGWIN, Calif. - Menlo College made it into the final 10 minutes of regular time even with second-place Pacific Union before allowing a pair of late goals in a 2-0 California Pacific Conference loss on Wednesday afternoon.

Jonathan Osorio scored from a Brandon Voigt assist in the final second of the 82nd minute before Edrie Mauries put the match away with an 85th-minute goal off a dual assist from Jonathan Groschel and Waqih Goda.
