SAN FRANCISCO – It had the makings of a storybook ending with a senior scoring the game-winning goal in her final collegiate game. It turned out that way, but in favor of a Santa Clara senior instead, as the Broncos' Jordan Jesolva netted the golden goal in the 96th minute to help hand the Dons a 2-1 loss on Saturday evening at Negoesco Stadium.
Amanda Whittle put USF (7-12-0, 3-6-0) up early with a header off a beautiful cross from Miciah Madison in the 24th minute. It was Whittle's team-best sixth goal of the season, giving her 43 career points, which rank as the ninth-most in USF history.
