LOS ANGELES – The LMU men's soccer team fell to visiting Santa Clara 2-0 on Saturday night at Sullivan Field.
The Broncos stormed out to a 2-0 lead in the first fifteen minutes and the Lions were desperately playing catch up for the remainder of the match.
Lewis Clutton tried to get the Lions on the board in the 14th minute with a long-range effort. The opposing goalkeeper scooped it up with little effort as it was fired right towards the middle of goal.
LMU won a free kick in a very dangerous area in the 23
rd minute. Tyler Trusner blasted a left-footed effort that went off the wall.
At the end of the half it was
Jovan Prado trying to get the Lions onto the scoresheet. Prado took a long ball up the left side and fired a driven shot that the goalkeeper parried.
LMU forced nine saves from Santa Clara's Jack Stoeker, but were unable to beat him.
Bradyn Knutson was a standout defensively, flying around the field, making challenges, and linking play to move the Lions forward.
LMU has two huge West Coast Conference matches in the coming week, with the Lions traveling to San Diego on Wednesday to face the Toreros and then coming home on Saturday to face the No. 13 Portland Pilots. Both matches will begin at 7:00 p.m. (PT) and will be broadcast on ESPN+.
