The San Diego State men’s soccer team (3-4-2, 0-1-1 Pac-12) defeated the UC San Diego Tritons (4-3-2) 1-0.
The Aztecs came into the game 18-1-0 against the Tritons who they have not played since 1983.
Head coach Ryan Hopkins said before the match that “UCSD will present some difficult challenges for us as they are masters of defending for long stretches without the ball,” and that is exactly how the first half went.
The best chance for SDSU in the first half came in the ninth minute, when sophomore midfielder Donovan Roux had a scoring chance from the right side of the box but was stopped by graduate goalkeeper Dominic Peters.
