SANTA CLARA, Calif. – With its only West Coast Conference match of the week, the Pacific women's soccer program makes the short trip to the Bay Area for a match against No. 7 Santa Clara Saturday at 1 pm at Stevens Stadium.
 
The Tigers (2-11-1, 0-4 WCC) have reached the midway point of the WCC slate with their fifth conference match of the season up next, visiting the Broncos (9-2-2, 3-0-1 WCC).
 
"Our players are very aware that the beauty of the WCC is each match is another opportunity to compete against a quality opponent," co-head coach J.J. Wozniak said. Our group has had a really good week of training and have prepared well for the match on Saturday!"
 
Junior Alexis Pashales and freshman Sierah McCallum are tied for the team lead in goals (4) and points (9). McCallum has registered the most shots on goal with ten on target while Pashales has played the most minutes with 1,096 to her name.
 
Freshman Sierra Schwarz has been called upon for the last eight starts in goal, earning 61 saves and a WCC-best 5.55 saves per game on the season. Redshirt freshman Hannah McFarlane also saw some action in goal in her collegiate debut, collecting four saves in the effort against Pepperdine last Saturday.
 
Santa Clara began conference play with two straight wins before earning a 1-1 at Pepperdine. In their last contest, the Broncos defeated the Lions, 2-0, on the road. Kennedy Schoennauer leads Santa Clara with a WCC-leading nine goals on 20 shots on goal.
 
Pacific and Santa Clara meet for the 19th time in the series history going back to 1998. For the last three years, the two programs have met twice each during the regular season.
 
The match will be broadcast live on ESPN+ with a kick-off set for 1 pm.
