SANTA CLARA, Calif. – An offensive minded effort from No. 12 Santa Clara women's soccer led to a 3-2 win over Notre Dame Sunday afternoon at Stevens Stadium.
After the game was tied at 1-all early in the second half, the Broncos (6-1) scored two goals in the span of two minutes but had to withstand a strong push from the Irish (4-4) late in the match.
Some determination in front of the goal in the 57th minute by Skylar Smith put Santa Clara up 2-1. After Smith's shot was nicely saved by Brooke Littman, she took the rebound and blasted her second chance into the back of the net for her first career goal.
