SANTA CLARA, Calif. – No. 13 Santa Clara women's soccer hosts Gonzaga Saturday at 1 p.m. in the final home game of the year. There will be a pregame ceremony for senior Julie Doyle.
The Broncos beat San Francisco on the road 4-0 Saturday.
Unfortunately, due to a recent spike in COVID-19 cases with the campus community we are still not able to allow fans into the facility at this time. The priority continues to be the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches and staff so the university will continue to evaluate campus policies. While the state of California announced guidance for outdoor seated venues on April 1, the university reserves the right to be more cautious than public health guidance.
SERIES HISTORY
Santa Clara is 23-1-2 all-time against Gonzaga with the first meeting coming in 1993. Last year the Broncos won in Spokane 1-0 and have gone 11-0-1 in the last 12 meetings.
