SPOKANE, WA – In the first game of WCC play, Trevor Dillon scored in the 87^th minute to propel the University of San Diego men's soccer team over Gonzaga, 1-0.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Gonzaga sent a shot to the upper right corner in the 31^st minute, but Dubrovich made a full-extension stop to keep it scoreless.
• Tunbridge 56^th minute, but his left footed shot on a pass from Cesar Bahena was saved by the goalkeeper.
• Nicklas Clausen sent a low cross across the six in the 71^st minute, but Alex Churness' diving attempt was just late for the tap in.
• Ross Johnstone played a ball ahead to Tunbridge in the 86^th minute, and the senior turned and dribbled through three defenders for a golden chance. The Gonzaga keeper barely got a hand on it, and USD was awarded a corner.
