SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The 12th ranked Santa Clara women's soccer team faced a tough North Texas team Monday night at home but came away with a hard-fought 1-0 victory.
The Broncos (3-0) held the advantage in shots 15-2, including 11-1 in the second half, but the Mean Green (2-1-1) defense caused trouble all night, blocking several shots and only yielded on a penalty kick. Santa Clara's backline, however, was just as sharp, not allowing a shot on goal all night.
"North Texas was a very tough team," Santa Clara head coach Jerry Smith said.
