Box Score
The University of San Diego men's soccer team closed out their 9-game homestand with their fourth straight victory with tonight's 1-0 victory over visiting UC Irvine. USD improves to 5-2-2 on the season while the Anteaters drop to 3-7. Freshman MF Michael Caso scored the game's lone goal and Torero keeper Lance Friesz tallied 6 saves. The Toreros play their first road game of the season this coming Tuesday at Cal State Northridge.
Caso's game-winner came in the 35th minute when his shot from 15 yards out got past UCI keeper Ryan Mathy. Caso collected the ball after it popped out of a crowd in the middle of the field. The Toreros were outshot for the first time this season as UCI took 11 shots, 10 in the 2nd half, to San Diego's 7. This was USD's fifth match of the season without giving up a goal to its opponent.
The Toreros play their first two road matches of the season next week against two teams ranked in the Far West Region Top-10 polls. USD plays at #4 CS Northridge on Tuesday, followed by #8 San Diego State on Saturday.
