PULLMAN, Wash. – In the first road game of the year, No. 13 Santa Clara women's soccer was undone by a late first half goal in a 1-0 loss to Washington State on Thursday night. The Broncos had their chances, especially late, but the Cougar defense stood tall and didn't allow the equalizer.
The Broncos (2-1) were on the attack much of the second half but were just a step away from putting together any runs for a goal. When it looked like they were going to create a dangerous chance, the Washington State (1-1) defense flexed its muscles and got the ball away from danger.
