SANTA BARBARA, Calif. --- After 68 minutes of scoreless soccer, the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos tallied the go-ahead goal in the 69th minute before holding on for a 1-0 win over the Portland Pilots in a non-conference men's soccer game played on Saturday night at Harder Field.
Ignacio Tellechea claims the game-winner, and it came on a cross sent in from left of the 18 by Noah Billingsely. It's Tellechea's third goal of the year, and Billingsley takes the assist.
From there the Pilots searched for the equalizer, and they nearly found it a few times, including in the 71st minute when Rey Ortiz sent a free kick just high.
