UCSD’s Soccer Team Beats Azusa Pacific, 1-0

UC San Diego’s defense played so well in a 1-0 nonconference soccer victory over Azusa Pacific Wednesday that Triton goalkeeper Greg Stadler could have taken the day off.

Azusa Pacific got off only three shots the entire match--none of which were on goal. Stadler registered a shutout without making a save. UCSD (3-1-2) has three shutouts and has allowed only three goals in six matches.

The Tritons, ranked No. 20 in NCAA Division III, got their goal from Johnfar Kerlee at the 66-minute mark. Azusa Pacific fell to 2-4.

UCSD next plays host to Biola Friday at 6 p.m.
