On Saturday, Hailey Eberle scored three times and posted three assists, and Annie Eldredge registered three goals, two assists and a career-high six steals to lead the Broncos to a 13-8 road win against Sonoma State.
One game after going 1-for-12 with the man advantage in an 8-6 loss to Pomona Pitzer, Santa Clara went 6 of 12 against the Seawolves.
