SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara men's soccer got goals from Javier Ruiz Duran and Sam Agosti in the first half and never looked back, taking down San José State 2-1 in the preseason finale on Sunday night at Stevens Stadium.
The Broncos managed to get off to a quick start having learned its lesson from last Wednesday's preseason match tie when it conceded two goals in the first six minutes. On Sunday, Santa Clara got on the scoreboard in the eighth minute on Ruiz Duran's penalty kick when sophomore Alex Achramowicz was tackled inside the penalty area by a Spartan defender.
