SAN DIEGO—San Diego women's soccer opens up West Coast Conference play this weekend against the defending national champion Santa Clara Broncos. The match will take place at 1 p.m. (PT) Saturday at Stevens Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

The Toreros (5-4, 0-0 WCC) are coming off a gritty home win last time out against the Denver Pioneers in their final nonconference matchup. Ariana Scholten tapped home a 78th minute winner to send the Torero faithful into a frenzy last Saturday night.

ALL-TIME SERIES AGAINST SANTA CLARA
• Saturday will be the 18th meeting all-time with the Toreros holding a 6-11 record against the Broncos. The Broncos have won the previous three matchups including the last two in Santa Clara. 

• San Diego is 2-7 on the road against the Broncos all-time. 

LAST TIME OUT
• San Diego defeated Denver 2-1 last week in their only match.

• Scholten scored her first collegiate goal in the 78th minute, which ended up being the game winner.

• Michaela Foster continues to anchor the Toreros, scoring a penalty as well as clearing a ball off the line to cement the San Diego victory. 

LOOKING AHEAD
• San Diego plays host to Pepperdine next Wednesday, before traveling to Provo to take on BYU on Saturday.

• Tickets for the Pepperdine match as well as all remaining home matches are available in the Jenny Craig Pavilion box office and USDToreros.com.
