MSOC | No. 4 Gaels Draw with Toreros to Remain Undefeated

Saint Mary's and San Diego tied 1-1 on Friday night as Saint Mary's extended their unbeaten streak to 19 matches.

SAN DIEGO — For the first time this season, No. 4 Saint Mary's did not walk off the field victorious as the Gaels and Toreros tied 1-1 on Friday night. With the draw, Saint Mary's is still undefeated in their last 19 matches dating back to last season.

HOW IT HAPPENED
After a scoreless first half, the Gaels (14-0-1, 3-0-1 WCC) got on the board in the 67th minute thanks to a penalty kick goal by Stephen Dougherty. The senior has recorded all five of his tallies on PK opportunities this season. Dougherty led the team with four shots in the match.

After leading for 84 minutes and change, San Diego (5-7-4, 1-1-2 WCC) tied the score as Miguel Berry headed a ball off a cross and past Remi Prieur for the equalizer. Berry's goal was only the second shot of the match for the Toreros and his sixth goal of 2018.

The Gaels' defense held strong for the remainder of the match and limited USD to just three attempts in 110 minutes. Friday's match was the third time this season SMC has limited their opposition to three or less shots in a match. Saint Mary's has averaged only 7.6 shots against in their 15 matches.

Jake Rudel nearly won the match for the Gaels in the 99th minute as he headed a cross but his attempt was blocked on the goal line.
