Santa Clara's Leslie Osborne put home a penalty kick in the 24th minute
on Sunday for the lone tally of the match as the Broncos defeated Cal
State Fullerton at the Stanford Nike Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif.
The Titans, who have lost their last four consecutive matches, fell to
2-5 overall on the season. The Broncos improved to 4-2-1 overall and were
named co-champions of the tournament along with host Stanford.
Three of the five goals scored in the only two meetings between the two
schools have come via the penalty kick – two of those by Osborne,
who had the game-tying goal off a PK in the first-ever meeting back on
Oct. 10, 2003.
Fullerton was outshot, 11-8, for the match, led by junior Kandace Wilson's
three shots. Senior keeper Nicole Williams made three saves in the loss.
The Titans return to action this weekend as they close out a stretch of
six consecutive matches away from home against Northern Colorado on Friday
(Sept. 24) and Wyoming on Sunday (Sept. 26).
