Toreros Undone by Early Goals Against No. 2 Duke

Aidan Marmion scored first goal of year for San Diego

SAN DIEGO – No. 2 Duke scored twice in the first six minutes of the match and never looked back as San Diego dropped a, 4-1, decision against the Blue Devils on Friday night at Torero Stadium.
 
Duke (3-0) scored on its first two shots of the game and added a third in the 23rd minute to take a commanding early lead. The Toreros (0-2-1) had trouble slowing down Blue Devils striker, Daniele Proch, who scored the first and third goals for the Blue Devils.
 
Duke added a fourth goal in the 73rd minute when Kevin Feucht scored after a loose ball in the box fell to his foot which he sent to the back of the net.

Despite the 4-0 deficit, the Toreros had played well in spells and generated opportunities throughout the match. USD generated nine shots and held a, 4-3, advantage in corner kicks.
 
The Toreros were rewarded less than 40 seconds after Duke's fourth goal when Till Stockmann sent a pass across the top of the 18-yard box to an on-running Aidan Marmion who powered a right-footed shot past Duke's goalkeeper, Will Pulisic. It was the first goal of the year for the Toreros.

 
Connor Hountalas got the start in goal for the Toreros and had his hands full. He made four saves and was active off his line. Pulisic registered three stops.
 
The Toreros will look to bounce back Monday at 7 p.m. (PT) when they play host to Cal Baptist.
