SEATTLE -- It took some extra time -- but not too much -- for Cal State L.A. to win the NCAA Division II West Region championship on a chilly Thursday evening in Seattle.

The Golden Eagles got an overtime goal from Jordan Payne just 1:02 into the extra period to beat No. 1 seed Seattle Pacific, 1-0, at Interbay Stadium. Cal State L.A. (15-3-2) set a new program record with its 13th shutout and it came at a most opportune time. The Golden Eagles, ranked 14th in the nation, won its second West Region title in the past four seasons with the victory. The Golden Eagles will now face South Central Region champion Colorado Mesa in a national quarterfinal match on Saturday at 7 p.m.

The Golden Eagles, who had a relentess attack in the second half, got the golden goal after more pressure in the overtime period. Halil Tozar - who had an outstanding game for the Golden Eagles - sent a dangerous corner kick into the box where Seattle Pacific goalkeeper Cody Lang rose up to bat away. Eduardo Almaraz was there to control the ball and sent a hard shot toward the goal. The ball went past Dane Nielsen and right to Payne, who shot it with his left foot from point-blank range into the net for the game-winner.

The goal set off a celebration for the Golden Eagles, who also won the 2011 NCAA Division II West Region championship at Seattle Pacific.

It was Payne's team-leading seventh goal of the season.

"(Eduardo) shot the ball across and Dane was right there and it came to me and I was able to finish. I couldn't believe it at first," Payne said. "It was a great feeling."

Cal State L.A. had a 17-4 advantage in shots, including a 10-3 edge in a masterful second-half performance. The Golden Eagles had several outstanding opportunities in the second period, but couldn't score until overtime.

Although Seattle Pacific was only credited with four shots, the Falcons (16-2-2), ranked fourth in the nation and No. 1 in the West, also had a couple of splendid chances in regulation to score. Cal State L.A. goalkeeper Mike Beigarten had two big saves and defender Randy Mendoza also had a huge play to prevent a goal. Beigarten's best save came in the 18th minute when he made a sprawling deflection of a shot by Seattle Pacific's Jordan Kollars that seemed destined for the far corner of the net. Beigarten also had a nice save in the 89th minute when he dove to stop a bid by Seattle Pacific's Sean Russell.

Mendoza's big save came in the 49th minute when Kollars sent a shot toward the goal that Mendoza, stationed by the post, was able to clear out of danger just before the ball crossed the goal line.

"Well, first off, I'd like to congratulate SPU on a fantastic season. Coach Mark (Collings) and his student-athletes were atop the West all year long and did a great job," Cal State L.A. head coach Chris Chamides said. "I am very proud of how we played today and I thought there were chances for both teams. We were fortunate to make the play that we did in overtime."

Cal State L.A.'s depth seemed to be the difference in a high-quality match. The Golden Eagles' starters were outstanding - Beigarten, Abel Teferi, Almaraz, Tozar, Payne, Shane Panther, Sigifredo Torres, Kaan Gultoprak, Nielsen, Mendoza and Lucas Rio Torto - and the seven reserves - Troy Dumlao, Andre Bissmark, Miguel Galvan Lara, Herbert Biste, Brett Elliott, Christopher Gardea and Marvin Iskra - played great as well. It was truly a team effort, Chamides noted.

"I thought it was a very good game. Every guy who played tonight contributed to the win," Chamides said. "It was a true team victory."

The Falcons, too, enjoyed tremendous depth this season as Seattle Pacific captured the Great Northwest Athletic Conference and stamped itself as the team to beat in the West. "I think we had a hard time getting ahold of the ball," Collings said. "Their depth - I just told our guys we finally ran into a team that had more depth than we did. They were subbing in waves. I thought we looked a little tired and they looked a bit more fresh than we did."

The Golden Eagles were making their fifth West Region championship appearance since 2006 and their first since 2011 when they edged Seattle Pacific, 3-2, in Seattle. Cal State L.A. advanced past Seattle Pacific for the third time in the past four years and all three games were fantastic battles. The Golden Eagles also advanced past the Falcons in 2012 in penalty kicks after the teams battled to a 1-1 tie at Grand Canyon.

Cal State L.A. will return to action on Saturday at 7 p.m. with a match against No. 11 Colorado Mesa, which beat No. 8 St. Edwards, 2-1, in an earlier game on Thursday.
