No. 10 Women's Soccer Cruises to 3-0 Win Against Pilots

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – On the front foot from the start, No. 10 Santa Clara women's soccer took care of Portland 3-0 on a hot Saturday afternoon from Stevens Stadium. The Broncos (8-2-1, 2-0 WCC) were on top of the Pilots (6-3-4, 1-1-1 WCC) right away, getting five shots on goal in the first 14 minutes and didn't let up for the entire 90 minutes.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Tori Powell got the scoring going in the 29th minute. A low pass through the box from Colby Barnett four the feet of Powell who knocked it past Portland goalkeeper Bre Norris.
  • In the 75th, Holly Furphy made it 2-0. Lucy Mitchell sent a ball over the top that Furphy chested down and slid in past Norris.
  • It wasn't long before Furphy made it a brace. Lauren Hunter found Furphy in the box and Furphy chipped a perfect shot over the keeper and under the cross bar.
