The University of San Diego men\u2019s soccer team started its season with a bang on Thursday night, taking down No. 1-ranked and defending national champion Washington 2-1 in Seattle.<\/p>\n
Taj Eagleston and Devin Dillon scored for the Toreros, and goalkeeper Lucca Adams held on to the victory after Washington cut USD\u2019s lead in half late in regulation.<\/p>\n
Washington outshot USD 16-6, though the Toreros had nearly as many shots on goal (four) as the Huskies (five). Adams finished with four saves.<\/p>\n
Eagleston got USD on the board in the 11th minute, firing a shot to the bottom-right corner of the net with his right foot. USD led 1-0 at the half, then quickly doubled it when Dillon fired a left-footed shot to the bottom-right corner in the 53rd minute. Washington\u2019s Zach Ramsey hit the same spot in the 76th minute to cap scoring.<\/p>\n
Coached by former U.S. National Team member and former San Diego Sockers star Brian Quinn, USD has won four consecutive West Coast Conference titles.<\/p>\n
The Toreros (1-0) will open their home slate Sunday with a match against Liberty. The game starts at 5 p.m. from Torero Stadium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The University of San Diego men\u2019s soccer team started its season with a bang on Thursday night, taking…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":439119,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[1327,181,74,76,75,127,1696,3425],"class_list":["post-439118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-college-sports","tag-latest-headlines","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-sports","tag-top-stories-sdut","tag-toreros"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=439118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/439119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=439118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=439118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=439118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
