Box Score

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - A pair of first half goals by Jacqueline Altschuld and Rachel Conners lifted the University of San Diego women's soccer team to a thrilling 2-0 win over cross-town rival San Diego State Friday evening in a non-conference match at Torero Stadium.

San Diego then kept the momentum going, as in the 27th minute of play, Conners would be on the receiving end of a pass, as Kelley Carusa skied the ball over to Conners, and she hit a one-timer into the back of the net, to put the match at its final of 2-0.
