LOS ANGELES – Following a scoreless opening half, LMU's offense scored three second half goals and the defense maintained a shutout to give the Lions a win over San Francisco to open West Coast Conference play.
Â
Both teams accounted for six first half shots and each goalkeeper made two first half saves in a first half that did not look anything like the second 45 minutes.
Â
The Lions first found the back of the net in the 53
rd minute.
Eli Armstrong played a ball over the top into the feet of
CJ Neville. After collecting, Neville slipped the ball across the box to
Christian Ortiz who shielded his defender, took a touch, and beat the keeper.
Â
The rest of the game was the
Adam Davie show. After subbing into the match in the 65
th minute, Davie scored a pair of insurance goals in the 73
rd and then 75
th minutes for the Lions.
Â
The first of Davie's two strikes came from his back line as
Corbin Mercado and
Callum Stretch started play and fed him an over-the-top ball that Davie brought down and popped over his defender to put him in a position to slot past the oncoming keeper.
Â
Davie's second brace came from the middle of the field as
Noel Caliskan slipped a ball into the box and allowed his striker to take a touch past the keeper and finish.
Â
The LMU defense recorded a shutout for the fourth time this season, led by
Mitchell Wilson's three saves.
