FRESNO, Calif. — Fresno State is slated to open Mountain West play on Thursday, hosting San Diego State at Bulldog Soccer Stadium at 7 p.m. PT. Three days later, the Bulldogs will be back on the pitch to host New Mexico at noon on Sunday.
Fresno State's conference opening opponents have claimed at least a share of the MW regular-season championship in the last five consecutive seasons.
OPENING CONFERENCE
Until last season, Fresno State has won at least five matches in MW play dating back to 2016. Four of those five seasons resulted in a trip to the Mountain West tournament.
The Bulldogs last started conference play against San Diego State and New Mexico in 2014. They did the same, but on the road, in 2013.
STAYING LOCAL
After playing its first five matches of the season in the Central Valley, Fresno State left the area, albeit briefly, to play two games in Riverside. The Bulldogs returned to the Valley last week traveling up to Stockton.
With two home matches this week, Fresno State will play seven of its first nine matches within the Central Valley, something the Bulldogs have done just once in their history (2000).
SETTING UP AT THE STICK
Like a season ago, Fresno State again ranks as one of the top teams in the Mountain West in earning corner kicks. The Bulldogs currently rank second in the league, earning 6.00 per match.
FIRST 45
In five of their eight games, the Bulldogs have either led or have been tied at the half. The result has been positive in four of those matches with the 'Dogs going 1-1-3.
