SANTA CLARA, Calif. – San Francisco kept knocking on the door in the second half before breaking through with two late goals by David Raphael and Jaggar Judkins to down Santa Clara men's soccer 2-0 in a West Coast Conference match on Sunday night at Stevens Stadium.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
- In the 81st minute, Raphael broke the scoreless deadlock and five minutes later Judkins followed with another goal to lift San Francisco (8-3-1, 3-2-0 WCC) to their third straight league victory.
- USF turned up their offense in the final 15 minutes of action putting five shots on frame. Goalkeeper Jackson Ozburn kept the Broncos in the game turning away three of those shots in a four minute period before conceding one to Raphael. Alex Solomis delivered a long pass to Raphael who found himself one-on-one against the Bronco defender before bending a left footed shot past Ozburn for his fourth goal of the year.
- In the 86th minute, Judkins' centering pass bounced around in front of the net off a Broncos defender and Ozburn before he settled it down to find the back of the net. It was his second goal of the season.
