FROM THE COACH: 

"I thought this was one of the most complete team efforts of the season, San Diego made it very difficult on us, they scouted very well, and it took us a while to break their defense down. I have been telling our 10's to take more shots and I am proud of Ryan and Yazid for taking shots and scoring the goals they did. Proud of the boys and the way they performed in this game. Looking forward to Gonzaga and honoring our seniors next week." - Head Coach Adam Reeves 

UP NEXT: 

The Tigers host Gonzaga next Saturday at Knoles field, kickoff is at 7:00 pm and the Tigers will honor their seniors before the game.
