LOS ANGELES – The University of Redlands Men's Soccer (9-7-4) team saw their SCIAC Tournament come to an end Saturday night falling 1-0 at Occidental College in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) Tournament Final.
Brady Bachman (San Diego, CA) was a big reason the Bulldogs had a chance in this game. He made his first save in the fifth minute. Then after 36 minutes of neither team testing the other keeper, the Tigers got a look at the bottom right corner of the goal, but Bachman got to the ground and kept the game scoreless at the half.
In the first 19 minutes of the second half Bachman made three more saves as the Bulldogs continued to look for their first shot on target. Unfortunately, after his third save in the 65th minute, the rebound fell to another Tiger who slotted it home for the eventual game-winner.
The first and only shot on target for Redlands came from defender Mateo Ambriz (Ontario, CA) in the 76th minute when he had his attempt saved.
Overall, after conceding the goal, the Bulldogs were still only outshot 3-2 as they were never able to get into dangerous areas that pressured the Occidental keeper.
The Bulldogs were outshot 19-5, including a 7-1 shot on target discrepancy, though Redlands did have two additional corners (8-6).
Bachman finishes his career with 139 saves, ninth-most in program history, a 1.16 goals-against average (11th), 3506:11 minutes (8th), 47 games played (7th), 39 games started (8th), and two shutouts (10th). In 2025 he had 82 saves, the eighth-most in single-season program history.
Anders Beckton (Seattle, WA) will go into his senior season 11th in assists (18), and tied for 16th in the 15 goal/10 assists club (20/18).
Head Coach Ralph Perez's illustrious career comes to a close with a 442-217-77 record across all his stops, making him the 34th-winningest coach in NCAA men's soccer history (across all divisions) and the eighth-winningest active coach.
In his Bulldog tenure he won 264 games (264-88-37) with 196 SCIAC wins (196-44-23). He won 11 SCIAC regular season titles, five SCIAC Tournament titles, and made all 18 SCIAC Tournaments. He never finished worse than 3rd place in his 19 seasons.
