The Denver University Pioneers withstood mid-twenties temperatures and bitter snow squalls during a 2022 version of Snow Clasico at Pioneers Field yesterday. The Crimson and Gold were out hustling around on a rock-like pitch during their opening round match in the NCAA D1 Tourney against the University of San Diego.
The Pioneers prevailed and defeated San Diego, 1-0, when Kengo Ohira scored the game winner early in stoppage time. The senior from Tokyo, Japan drilled a blistering shot from within the 18-yard box to finish of the Toreros, who played a man down from the 56th minute until the final whistle.
