Broncos Rally but Fall Short of Defeating UCSBMar. 10, 2008
After trailing 8-6 at half, the Broncos again gave up the first goal of the half, after just 26 seconds. Down 9-6 and frustrated, the Broncos would rally behind three consecutive goals put in by Kelly, Shaw and Binder over a span of just 1:48. With the game now tied at 9-9, the Broncos were once again back on their feet. The two teams would trade goals down the stretch but the Broncos could never squeak out a lead from Santa Barbara. With 8:28 remaining the Broncos tied the game for the final time off of a hard right-handed shot to the top left corner by Choquette. The game would remain tied as both goalies and defenses settled down for an exciting finish. In the closing minutes both goalies made clutch saves but with 1:17 remaining, UCSB would score off of a free position shot that gave them the eventual 12-11 lead and victory. Santa Clara (8-2) moves on to play rival Chico State (4-4) this weekend in their first regional game of the season. UC Santa Barbara (9-0) moves on to play San Diego State (4-4). UC Santa Barbara continues to hold the #1 ranking in the USL WDIA poll which is released on a weekly basis.
