The top two men’s soccer teams in the Orange Empire Conference met in a title-significant match Friday at Fullerton College and those brave enough to brave a chilly Southern California evening got their money’s worth.
In an energetic match the OEC’s No. 1 team, Fullerton, and its closest challenger, Santa Ana, played to a scoreless tile.
