UCSD Spoils ACU’s Comeback on Senior Day

Glendale, Ariz.– Arizona Christian nearly erased a four-goal fourth-quarter deficit, but UC San Diego held on for a 9-8 victory. The Firestorm battled throughout and closed the gap late after trailing 9-5 with under a quarter to play. ACU scored the final three goals of the match, but the comeback bid came up just short. Carson Brown led the Firestorm offense with a four-goal performance while adding an assist. Gavin Waddell added two goals and one assist, while Hayden Wegner contributed a goal and an assist. Blake Smith also found the net in the closing minutes.
