The Chaffey College men's soccer team earned a road win on Tuesday afternoon, defeating San Bernardino Valley College 1–0 in Inland Empire Athletic Conference play. The Panthers maintained composure in a tightly contested match, using disciplined defending and timely goalkeeping to secure the shutout victory.

Both teams traded early chances in the first half, with Diego Garcia and Alberto Gomez each forcing saves from the Wolverines while Goalkeeper Christian Hernandez made several stops to keep the match scoreless. Chaffey broke through just before halftime when Luis DeAnda converted a penalty kick in stoppage time to give the Panthers a 1–0 lead.

The second half featured relentless pressure from the Wolverines, who outshot Chaffey 11–3 over the final 45 minutes.
