The San Diego State University women's soccer team will meet the Pacific Tigers on Thursday at 8 p.m. in a Pac‑12 YouTube live stream, marking the third meeting of the season between the two programs.
Defensive Dominance and Recent Form
SDSU enters the match with a 2‑1 record and a reputation for limiting opponents to single‑digit goals, having avoided multiple‑goal defeats against several ranked foes this year.
The Aztecs' most recent outing was a 1‑0 win over Portland State, where midfielder Kenny Moore struck the decisive goal in the 10th minute, and goalkeeper Kailey Carlen preserved the shutout with a single save.
In a tightly contested defensive battle against No. 10 Washington Huskies, SDSU fell 1‑0 on a penalty kick in the 67th minute, underscoring the team's resilience despite the loss.
Statistically, SDSU outshot Portland State 20‑7 and controlled possession for 59 % of the match, highlighting their offensive efficiency and midfield dominance.
The team is one of only eight programs nationally that have faced a ranked opponent without surrendering multiple goals, sharing the distinction with Cal Poly, Clemson, Illinois, Ohio State, Saint Mary’s, Samford and Stanford.
Broadcast Details and Fan Incentives
The live stream will be available on the Pac‑12 YouTube channel, and the early‑bird hat giveaway is intended to reward the first viewers who join the broadcast.
Looking ahead, the Aztecs will travel to face Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Utah Valley, with all three contests streamed on ESPN+ for paid subscribers.
