THE BRONCOS (1-9-0, 1-0-0 WCC)
In the WCC opener last Sunday, Santa Clara scored three unanswered goals after giving up an early goal to down San Francisco, 3-1. The Bronco goals were scored by '9 Carlos Delgadillo, 42' Miles Robinson and 79' Valdemar Andersen with Robinson credited for the game winner.

The Broncos were prepped for the conference slate after a challenging nonconference schedule, which saw the Broncos play two teams ranked top-six in the country (#6-Maryland and #1-Indiana) along with facing five straight opponents (SMU, Seattle, Washington, Cal and Indiana) that at least received votes in the top-25 poll two weeks ago.

With a goal last weekend, Carlos Delgdillo took the team lead in goals scored with four, one ahead of Satoshi Chaffin and Valdemar Andersen. Miles Robinson has scored two goals with Nate Shue and Brandon Gillingham each chipping in with a goal. In all, six different Broncos have scored a goal this season tallying 14 goals in total.

Delgadillo's goal moved him to an eighth place tie with Peter Lowry (2004-07) for the most career goals in Bronco history with 22. Next up for the senior, Anthony Chimienti (1998-01) with 25 goals.

For the season, the Broncos have started four goalkeepers. Henning Jolivet has led the way starting six matches allowing 17 goals while making 23 saves. Dakota Havlick started the season opener, allowing four goals and saving three and returned last weekend to earn the win against USF allowing just one goals to go along with his two saves. Seamus Hudnut started the second match, allowing two goals while being credited with one save. And in the third match, Aran O'Brien allowed two goals and making four saves.

THE GAELS (4-4-3, 1-0-0 WCC)
Saint Mary's, currently ranked 81st in the RPI, has allowed only 11 goals all season in 11 matches. The Gaels have shutout four opponents and have allowed more than one goals in just three matches.

In the last five matches, Saint Mary's is 3-1-1, scoring five goals and allowing three. The Gaels won each of the three matches by a score of 1-0.

Both Remi Prieur and Andrew Konstantino have goals-against average of under one with Prieur credited with three shutouts and one for Konstantino.

Offensively, eight different Gaels have scored a goal with Jake Rudel leading the way with three.
