The Spartans struck just 4:46 into the match when Anwary set up Jordi Tortell Daly<\/a> with a pass in the middle of the box for the opening goal.

Daniel Fregoso Bautista<\/a> also recorded an assist on the goal. Anwary then extended the lead to 3-1 in the 28th minute after he put a host into the bottom right corner off a Tortell Daly pass in the middle.<\/p>\n

The Gaels pulled within one on a goal in the 34th-minute, sending San Jos\u00e9 State into halftime with a 3-2 advantage.<\/p>\n

After Saint Mary\u2019s applied pressure throughout much of the second half, the Spartans restored their two-goal cushion in the 78th minute. Anwary delivered his second assist of the afternoon to Fregoso Bautista, who finished for his first goal of the season and sealed the 4-2 victory.<\/p>\n
