SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. --- Portland freshman Benji Michel scored twice and the Pilots overcame two late San Francisco goals to preserve a 3-2 win over the Dons in a West Coast Conference men's soccer game played on Friday night at Negoesco Field. Michel's brace gives him a WCC-best eight goals on the year.
Michel's first goal was in the 27th minute and it came on a wicked ball sent in by Eddie Sanchez. The Pilots earned a free kick just left of the 18 after USF had been called for a foul, and Sanchez whipped in a dangerous ball that bounced before finding Michel.
