STOCKTON, Calif. — Maquena O'Callaghan came off the bench to score in the 39th minute, and San Diego women's soccer closed its 2026 season with a 1-0 win over Pacific on Saturday afternoon at Knoles Field.

The win capped a season-best four-match unbeaten run for the Toreros.

San Diego earned four corner kicks in the first nine minutes, and Kate Sealy, Marissa Morales and Tamia Graham each forced a save within the first 12 minutes. The Toreros outshot Pacific 10-7 in the first half and put five of those shots on target.

Sealy forced another save in the 39th minute, and 37 seconds later the Toreros were in front. O'Callaghan, who entered in the 21st minute, scored from just outside the box off an assist from Ruby Shoots, sending her shot into the upper corner. It was her fifth goal and third game-winner of the season, both team highs.

"I'm really proud of our group and the way we finished the season today," head coach Greg LaPorte said. "Maquena scored a fantastic goal, and it was a great moment for her to help send our seniors out with a win."

Las Toreras kept the pressure on after halftime, and Morales forced a save in the 66th minute. San Diego ended with a 15-10 edge in shots, a 6-2 advantage on target and 53% of possession.

Ilise Medrano saved both of Pacific's two shots-on-goal, in the 32nd and 75th minutes, while defenders Sealy, Ella Callanan, Hannah Faklaris and Ruby Shoots each played all 90 minutes in front of her.

"Just as importantly, we showed the discipline and concentration to protect that lead and earn the shutout," LaPorte said. "We've talked a lot about managing games and seeing results through, so it was rewarding to see us execute that today.

"Finishing the season unbeaten in our last four matches speaks to the resilience and growth of this team. I'm proud of how they've responded down the stretch, and it's a positive way to close out the year."
