After transferring from the University of Oregon, San Diego State women’s soccer forward Claire Watkins was looking forward to finally getting the chance to play in front of friends and family this season.
It ended up not happening due to COVID-19 restrictions, but Watkins instead got the chance to play a big role in the season opener for the Scarlet and Black.
SDSU beat the Nevada Wolf Pack 3-2 on March 5 at the SDSU Sports Deck, thanks in part to a late goal by Watkins in the 87th minute of the game.
“What a great finish,” head coach Mike Friesen said of the game-winning goal.
