The visiting Pepperdine Waves scored three goals in eleven minutes, and added a fourth right before the final whistle as they cruised past USD, 4-1, in the Toreros’ women’s soccer season opener on Friday.
The visitors opened the scoring in the 20th minute with an opportunity created from a corner kick, then added goals number two and three in the 30th and 31st minutes. Pepperdine’s junior defender Trinity Watson, who scored the first goal, assisted the second, lofting a free kick into the penalty area, which fellow defender, senior Emily Sample, got her head to, arcing the ball over the outstretched arm of the Toreros’ sophomore goalkeeper Ellyn Casto.
