\n\tSan Diego (8-3-3, 3-1-1\u00a0WCC) outshot Santa Clara 24-8\u00a0including 9-3\u00a0on frame.\u00a0 The Toreros also\u00a0had a 13 to 5 edge\u00a0in\u00a0corner kicks and took advantage on two of them.\u00a0
\n\tIn the 56th minute, Ethan McNaughton found the back of the net on a\u00a0header off a corner kick from Kevin Pena to give USD a 1-0 lead.\u00a0 Broncos goalkeeper Jackson Ozburn<\/a>, coming off back-to-back shutouts to earn consecutive\u00a0WCC Defensive Player of the Week honors, got his hand on it but could not keep McNaughton from scoring his first goal of the season.\u00a0 It was the first tally conceded by the Broncos defense in 285 minutes that spanned six straight scoreless halves.\u00a0
\n\tThe Toreros doubled the lead in the 80th minute off a corner kick from Matteo Salcedo, as an unmarked Dillon snuck in on the far post to head the ball in for his second goal of the season.\u00a0\u00a0
\n\tUSD struck again a minute later when Zelkind slotted the ball past Ozburn when a Bronco defender deflected away Steven Ramirez’s cross\u00a0into the box to his foot.\u00a0 It was also Zelkind’s first goal on the year.\u00a0\u00a0
\n\tGuandique got Santa Clara\u00a0(4-7-3, 1-2-3\u00a0WCC) on the board with just five second remaining in the game off a Diego Jalleau<\/a> corner to break the shutout bid by Lucca Adams.
\n\tThe scoring play put both Guadique and Jalleau atop the team lead with their fourth goal and fourth assist, respectively.\u00a0\u00a0

\n\tSanta Clara leads\u00a0the series 35-19-6.

\nPOST-GAME COMMENTS:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n“In the first half, we weren’t that good with our attack\u00a0but did a good job defending.\u00a0 And starting the second half, we knew it was important to get a result so we opened up. \u00a0We created some decent chances but San Diego didn’t create them either until the set pieces.\u00a0 On their\u00a0first goal, we tracked the ball but the San Diego player got inside our defender\u00a0and scored and\u00a0that unlocked the game.\u00a0 We did ok defensively for a stretch after that but we shifted our shape to push forward.\u00a0 And on the second goal, we left two guys up top on the corner and got backdoored.\u00a0 The third goal was a poor touch around box as we were ok positionally.\u00a0 But we didn’t stop and the guys kept fighting\u00a0and got a goal late but\u00a0we needed it to come earlier.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n“Portland\u00a0is really good at home.\u00a0 I told the team after the game, we don’t know if we can still make the WCC Tournament but we have to win the remaining two games and get some help in order to get into the tournament\u00a0so that’s the job now.”
