•          Cameron Rast is in his 25th season as Santa Clara's head coach and is the program's winningest coach. He played on the Broncos'             1989 national championship team and captained the 1992 U.S. Olympic team.

Standings as of Oct. 20, ranked by points (three for a win, one for a draw).

•          San Diego has outshot its four home opponents 65-35 and outscored them 9-7, beating Liberty 3-1 and San Diego State 2-1 and             drawing Denver 0-0.
•          Before Portland's visit, the Toreros had gone 13 straight regular-season home matches without a loss (11-0-2).
•          San Diego has drawn 4,165 fans to four home matches, an average of 1,041, led by a season-high 2,242 against San Diego State on             Sept. 13.
•          Two of the Toreros' final four regular-season matches are at home: Santa Clara on Wednesday and Saint Mary's on Nov. 6.
•          San Diego is 5-2-2 on the road after the win at Pacific, with five wins in nine road matches. The Toreros have scored 14 goals and             allowed nine away from home. •          Steven Ramirez's penalty kick at Pacific was the 20th goal of his career: one as a freshman in 2023, four in 2024, eight in 2025 and             seven this season.
•          He has scored in four straight matches, at LMU, at San Francisco, against Portland and at Pacific, the longest scoring run by a Torero             this season.
•          One more goal would match last season's total of eight, with four regular-season matches left.
•          All three of San Diego's penalty kicks this season have been taken and converted by Ramirez: at UC Santa Barbara, at San Francisco             and at Pacific.
•          His seven goals account for nearly a third of San Diego's 23, and he leads the team with 15 points, 39 shots and 12 shots on target. •          San Diego has taken more shots than its opponent in eight of 13 matches and is 6-1-1 in those games. The lone loss was the 5-4             decision against Portland, when San Diego held a 17-14 edge.
•          Shots were even in two matches, a 1-0 loss at Kansas City (12-12) and the 2-2 draw at San Francisco (18-18). San Diego is 1-1-1             when outshot, a group that includes the 2-1 win at No. 1 Washington.
•          The 24-3 margin at Pacific was the widest of the season. The Toreros had also outshot Denver 16-6, UC Irvine 14-6 and San Diego             State 16-7.
•          Pacific's three shots were the fewest by a Torero opponent this season, half the previous low of six by UC Irvine and Denver.
•          San Diego averages 14.6 shots per match to its opponents' 10.9 and puts 36% of its attempts on target, compared with 29% for             opponents. •          San Diego has conceded first in seven of its 13 matches and is 3-3-1 in them. It is 4-0-1 when scoring first, after Taj Eagleston's 14th-            minute opener at Pacific.
•          Three of the Toreros' seven wins have come after conceding the first goal: against Liberty on Aug. 23, at UC Irvine on Sept. 8 and at             LMU on Sept. 30.
•          The three losses after conceding first were 1-0 road defeats at No. 1 Stanford, on an 89th-minute goal, and at Kansas City, where the             Toreros played the final 54 minutes with 10 men, and the 5-4 home loss to Portland.
•          Even down 5-2 against Portland, San Diego scored twice in 1:58 through Kevin Pena to make it 5-4 with 17 minutes to play.
•          The answer at LMU took 68 seconds. The Lions scored at 21:45, and Steven Ramirez equalized at 22:53.
•          San Diego trailed 1-0 at halftime against Liberty and at UC Irvine. The Toreros scored three times between the 54th and 64th             minutes to beat the Flames 3-1, then scored twice in a span of 2:21 to beat the Anteaters 2-1.
•          The Toreros have been quick to capitalize elsewhere as well. Ramirez scored twice in 91 seconds against Liberty, Luca Fava's winner             at California Baptist came 45 seconds after the Lancers went down to 10 men, and Iain Wagner scored 77 seconds after San Diego             went down a man at Pacific. •          Substitutes have scored four of San Diego's 23 goals: Conner Gardenhour at UC Irvine, Devin Zachry at San Francisco and Kevin Pena             twice against Portland.
•          Gardenhour scored seven minutes after entering at halftime at UC Irvine, starting the comeback in a 2-1 win, and Zachry equalized at             San Francisco less than 10 minutes after coming on in the 32nd minute.
•          Pena turned his two goals off the bench against Portland into his first start of the season at Pacific, where he assisted Taj Eagleston's             opener.
•          Substitutes have also set up four goals: Jaxson Findlay and Matteo Salcedo against Liberty, Tony Ramirez at California Baptist and             Samy Kanaan against San Diego State.
•          Zachry has come off the bench in all 13 matches, and Findlay and Elijah Zelkind have nine substitute appearances each.
•          Twenty-four Toreros have played this season, and 21 have made at least one start. •          Lucca Adams has played all 1,170 minutes in goal, the only Torero on the field for every minute this season.
•          Taj Eagleston has logged 1,149 minutes, missing only the final 21 against Portland, and Iain Wagner is next with 1,070.
•          Devin Dillon (993), Steven Ramirez (941), Luca Fava (891) and Oliver Rhoades (849) give San Diego seven players with more than             800 minutes.
•          Kevin Pena and Elijah Zelkind made their first starts of 2026 at Pacific, making them the 20th and 21st different Toreros to start a             match this season. •          San Diego is unranked in this week's United Soccer Coaches Top 25 but received seven votes. It is the Toreros' second week outside             the poll after appearing in each of the first eight releases of the season.
•          San Diego is also unranked in the Top Drawer Soccer Top 25.
•          USD opened the season at No. 18 in the coaches poll and climbed to No. 2 on Aug. 25, the highest the program has ever appeared in             that poll.
•          The Toreros reached No. 1 in the Top Drawer Soccer Division I Top 25 on Aug. 24, the first time the program has held the top spot in a             national poll.
•          San Diego's previous best in either poll was No. 3, reached in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 on Nov. 5, 2024, at 12-1-2.
•          Four 2026 opponents are in this week's coaches poll: No. 5 Kansas City, No. 7 Washington, No. 19 UCLA, which hosts the Toreros on             Sunday, and Portland, tied for No. 21. San Diego beat Washington 2-1 in the opener and lost to Kansas City and Portland. •          Since taking over in 2018, head coach Brian Quinn has faced ranked opponents 24 times and is 8-11-5 in those matches.
•          No. 1 Washington remains both the highest-ranked opponent of the Quinn era and his highest-ranked win, ahead of a 2018 meeting             with No. 2 Duke that the Toreros dropped.
•          That list of wins also includes No. 6 Washington in 2023, No. 7 Portland in 2022, No. 10 Duke in 2024 and No. 10 Oregon State in             2025.
•          Stanford was the 12th top-10 opponent of the Quinn era and the fourth top-three opponent since 2018.
•          San Diego is 1-2-0 against ranked teams this season, with both losses by a 1-0 score. UCLA, No. 19 this week, would be the 25th             ranked opponent of the Quinn era if it is still ranked at kickoff Sunday. •          USD's Aug. 20 win at Washington was the fifth time in program history San Diego has beaten a No. 1-ranked opponent, and the first             under Brian Quinn. The Huskies were the defending national champions.
•          The previous one came Sept. 26, 2014, a 1-0 win over No. 1 UCLA at Torero Stadium in front of a program-record crowd of 4,432.
•          Taj Eagleston opened the scoring in the 11th minute in Seattle, finishing an assist from Steven Ramirez whose own strike had been             cleared off the goal line. Devin Dillon doubled the lead in the 53rd.
•          Lucca Adams went the full 90 and made four saves against 16 Washington shots and 11 corner kicks. The result moved San Diego to             3-3-2 all time against the Huskies. •          Taj Eagleston and Luca Fava swept the West Coast Conference men's soccer weekly honors on Sept. 14, with Eagleston named             Offensive Player of the Week and Fava Defensive Player of the Week after 2-1 wins at UC Irvine and against San Diego State.
•          Eagleston scored the game-winner in both matches, in the 55th minute at UC Irvine and the 34th against San Diego State, and             played all 180 minutes while leading the Toreros with nine shots, four on target.
•          Fava started both wins at wing-back and played 154 minutes, helping San Diego allow just two goals and four shots on target for             the week.
•          Fava finished the week with three shots, one on goal, and an assist. He took the corner that started the move on Iain Wagner's opener             against San Diego State and supplied the cross for Eagleston's winner.
•          Eagleston became the second Torero to earn WCC Offensive Player of the Week honors this season, following Steven Ramirez on Aug.             24. •          Senior forward Steven Ramirez was named the WCC Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week for Aug. 24, 2026.
•          Ramirez had a hand in three of the Toreros' five goals during the 2-0-0 opening week, setting up the opener at Washington before             scoring twice in 91 seconds against Liberty as San Diego rallied for a 3-1 win.
•          The honor is the first conference weekly award of Ramirez's career and the first WCC Offensive Player of the Week award of the 2026             season. He is the first Torero recognized since Iain Wagner earned the same honor on Nov. 17, 2025.
•          He has since added penalties at UC Santa Barbara, San Francisco and Pacific, the equalizer at LMU and a headed equalizer against             Portland, and leads the Toreros with seven goals on 39 shots through 13 matches.
•          The Garden Grove, Calif., native has drawn WCC postseason recognition in each of his first three seasons, landing on the All-WCC             Freshman Team in 2023, honorable mention in 2024 and the second team in 2025. •          San Diego has scored 23 goals on 190 shots, 69 of them on target, and has outshot its opponents 190-142 overall and 69-41 on             frame.
•          The Toreros are averaging 1.77 goals per match and have allowed exactly one goal in nine of their 13 matches. The exceptions are             shutouts of Denver and Pacific, the 2-2 draw at San Francisco and the 5-4 loss to Portland.
•          Thirteen of San Diego's 23 goals have come after halftime, including six of the seven in its three comeback wins.
•          Steven Ramirez leads the team with seven goals and 15 points, and Taj Eagleston has five goals and 12 points. The two have             combined for 12 of the Toreros' 23 goals.
•          Eagleston has four of the team's seven game-winning goals. Noah James, Kevin Pena and Iain Wagner have two goals apiece, and             Devin Dillon, Luca Fava, Conner Gardenhour, Oliver Rhoades and Devin Zachry have one each, giving San Diego 10 different goal             scorers.
•          Wagner leads the Toreros with four assists, Fava and Matteo Salcedo have three each, and Mathias Bauer, Eagleston and Rhoades             have two each. Thirteen players have recorded the 23 Torero assists.

•          Five Toreros have started all 13 matches: Lucca Adams, Eagleston, Ramirez, Rhoades and Wagner.

•          Nicholson is in his 22nd season with the program after joining the staff in 2005 under former head coach Seamus McFadden. He has             helped the Toreros win six WCC titles and earn five NCAA Tournament berths.
•          Sanfilippo, a San Diego native, is in his sixth season after joining the staff in 2021 from Albion FC and has been part of each of USD's             four straight WCC titles and NCAA Tournament trips. He played at San Jose State before a 13-year professional career that included a             2012 NASL title with Tampa Bay. Last season in 2025 — Brian Quinn's eighth season as USD men's soccer head coach — he led the Toreros to their fourth consecutive West Coast Conference championship, a feat no program in league history had ever accomplished. As San Diego works through 2026, it is chasing an unprecedented fifth straight WCC title. Here's what the Toreros accomplished along the way:

•          Finished the regular season 13-2-3 overall and 7-1-1 in WCC play, good for a No. 7 national ranking

•          Posted nine shutouts on the season, including a stretch of five straight clean sheets in the middle of conference play
