ROUNDUP : USF Blanks Northridge in Soccer

The University of San Francisco men’s soccer team scored a pair of goals in the second half Thursday to defeat Cal State Northridge, 2-0, in a nonconference match at USF’s Negoesco Stadium.

Senior forward Angelo Sablo scored 41 seconds into the second half on an assist from Greg Vandenberg, then assisted on a goal by Cato Solberg with 21 minutes to play. USF (5-2), ranked 15th in the nation by Soccer America, outshot the Matadors (3-3), 11-5.

Goalkeepers Louie Mata of Northridge and Scott Thompson of San Francisco each made two saves.
