SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara women's soccer picked up a 1-0 win over San Francisco Saturday afternoon to begin a three match homestand. The Broncos (7-6-3, 3-2-3 WCC) scored early in the match and were able to hold off San Francisco's (2-9-4, 1-5-2 WCC) pushes throughout the day.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:

• The lone tally came off the foot of Leah O'Brien in the 14th minute. Lia Henkelmann rolled a pass to Kat Jordan who dribbled up the field and slid a pass to an open O'Brien near the top of the box. After a couple touches, O'Brien hit a shot through a defender's legs and out of the reach of the goalkeeper.
