The San Diego State Sports Deck bleachers were packed and cluttered with red and blue for the crosstown showdown Thursday night between the SDSU Aztecs (4-2-0) and University of San Diego Toreros (1-6-1).
For fans of either side, this year’s matchup between the two San Diego rivals did not disappoint as SDSU held off a late charge from USD to win 4-3.
Aztecs head coach Mike Friesen thought the crowd was electric during the match.
“It was great for San Diego,” Friesen said. “Obviously I don’t like the game to be that close, but for the fans that was probably pretty excited.
