SANTA CLARA, Calif.â€â€The Gonzaga University men's soccer team started West Coast Conference play Friday night, and the Zags opened with a bang, beating Santa Clara 2-1 at Buck Shaw Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
"It was a good win for the guys tonight," said Gonzaga head coach Einar Thorarinsson. "You have to give Santa Clara credit for fighting back, our guys were pressured for the better part of 30 minutes in the second half. We found a way to battle back, though."
