SANTA CLARA, Calif. – No. 9 Santa Clara women's soccer kept its season-opening winning streak alive with a 2-0 victory over Kansas State Thursday night at home.
The Broncos (4-0) put 10 of their 21 shots on goal with WCC-point leader Maria Sanchez scoring her second goal in as many games and last year's leading scorer, Kelsey Turnbow, adding an insurance goal late.
For the second game in a row, a Bronco was taken down in the box, this time Machaela George, to lead to a penalty. Sanchez took the chance from the spot and finished low and right, beating the keeper who guessed right to make it 1-0 in the 19th minute.
