Own Goal Sinks Women's Soccer Against UC Davis

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – An own goal led to No. 5 Santa Clara women's soccer being upset by UC Davis 1-0 on Sunday in the home-opener.

The Broncos (1-1) dominated most of the possession and created plenty of chances throughout but the Aggies (2-0) applied some pressure in the 66th that led to a ball deflecting off a defender and into the net for the lone tally.

NOTES

• Santa Clara outshot UC Davis 20-3 and 14-1 in the second half. The Broncos put eight of their shots on target with the Aggies not placing on frame. They also hit the crossbar.
• The Broncos also drew 10 corner kicks while allowing just one.
• UC Davis goalkeeper Caeley Goldstein was on her game, making seven saves while also snuffing out a few Santa Clara chances in the box. She got some help on one attempt as it was cleared off the line by her defense for a team save.
• Annie Karich, Lia Henkelmann, and Alex Klos all made their collegiate debuts. Isabel Dehakiz made her Santa Clara debut.
• Santa Clara is now 10-3-1 all-time against UC Davis.
