Buckley Nets Golden Goal to Lead Men’s Soccer Over Pacific

STOCKTON, Calif. – Freshman Caden Buckley scored in sudden death overtime to lift Santa Clara men's soccer to a thrilling 2-1 win over Pacific on Sunday afternoon.

In the 100th minute with less than 30 seconds remaining in overtime, Alejandro Barajas sent the ball inside the box on a set piece that was headed high above the six yard box and was eventually settled by Oladayo Thomas. Still inside the six, Thomas turned and fired the ball across the goal that found Buckley who directed the ball that hit the post before finding the back of the net.
