SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The Santa Clara women's soccer team scored both of their goals in the second half in a 2-0 win over Gonzaga at Stevens Stadium Friday.

In the 83rd minute, Maddie Gonzalez got behind the Bulldogs' defense and recorded her second goal of the season. George and Julie Vass both took four shots for Santa Clara.
Sarah Swanson made a career-high six saves in the Gonzaga (6-8-2, 2-5-0) net, while Melissa Lowder had four for the Broncos. SCU took all four of the corner kicks in the match.
