SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Following a much-needed road win against San Diego, Santa Clara returns home for a pair of games this week, facing Pepperdine Thursday and LMU Saturday.
Nate Kratch scored 17 points and Jared Brownridge added 12 in Saturday's 65-53 victory against the Toreros. The Broncos shot 51 percent from the floor and had five players in double figures in claiming their first road win of the season. Pepperdine has won three in a row, all at home, including an impressive 67-64 triumph over a previously one-loss Saint Mary's squad.
