SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – The Gonzaga men's soccer team picked up their second West Coast Conference win of the year with a victory over San Francisco in overtime, 3-2.
 
The Zags improve to 4-1 on the road this season, the first time Gonzaga has earned four victories on the road since 2015. It also marks the first overtime win for the Zags since 2017.

Going into the second half up 1-0, USF responded in the 56th minute with a goal from Nonso Adimabua to tie the game up.
 
In the 76th minute, junior Frankie Ljucovic put the Zags back in front with his third goal of the year as sophomore Leon Sitz dished the assist. San Francisco quickly responded in the 79th minute to tie it up, 2-2, with a goal from Shayan Charalaghi and assisted by Gabriel Bracken Serra.
 
At the end of regulation, the game was tied at 2-2 as nobody scored in the final minutes.
 
In overtime, Sitz scored the golden goal in the 98th minute to lift GU to the OT win.
