The No. 14 San Diego State Aztecs (7-0-2, 2-0-0) defeated the unranked Gonzaga Bulldogs (5-4) 2-0 with goals from senior midfielder Laukoa Santos and sophomore midfielder Andre Ochoa at the SDSU Sports Deck.
The Aztecs got off to a flying start as Santos netted a ball that fell right to his feet off a deflection in the third minute. A little over two minutes later, team captain Andre Ochoa finished a deflection off the Bulldog goalkeeper to put the Aztecs up 2-0 early. Senior forward Tevenn Roux was credited with both assists.
“It felt good (scoring so early), we’ve been having pretty good starts recently,” Santos said.
