Utah Valley men's soccer earned a 2-1 road victory over the Cal State Fullerton Titans on Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2026, at Titan Stadium, according to a report published Oct. 8. Nil Grau contributed a goal and an assist, while Luca Wingaa Laursen scored his first collegiate goal to lead the Wolverines to the win.
The match featured significant late-game developments, with two goals scored during the final 11 minutes of play. After a lengthy VAR review in the 80th minute, Fullerton equalized following a corner kick, despite a challenge by Utah Valley that the officials determined was not a challengeable call. Less than five minutes later, Grau restored the Wolverine lead in the 85th minute after a trivela cross slipped through the hands of the Titan keeper.
Utah Valley's defense was anchored by goalkeeper Jackson Medina, who recorded a career-high seven saves. Medina’s performance included several critical stops, including two saves in the 12th and 15th minutes and five saves between the 57th and 80th minutes. The Wolverines took their initial lead in the 24th minute when Grau sent a driven ball to Wingaa Laursen following a cross from Jose Luis Martin Montealegre.
With the win, Utah Valley improved to a 6-1-2 record and 2-1 in Big West play, placing them atop the conference standings. The Wolverines are currently level on six points with UC Irvine, the reigning conference champions, who recently earned two wins. Utah Valley previously defeated UC Irvine on Sept. 30.
Utah Valley will host Sacramento State this Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. MDT.
