Emotions were running high in the tough physical game in which two yellow cards were issued, one earned by our freshman enforcer, Andrew Kreichbaumer. The tie put the Dons' record at a fairly impressive 11-5-2, with just three games left on the schedule. The University of San Diego soccer team was at Ullrich Field Friday for an afternoon home contest with the Dons. The cold and damp weather did not hinder the Dons en route to a 2-1 victory. San Diego struck first on a weak defensive series by USF, which seemed to inspire the team to rally back with two unanswered goals. USF midfielder, Ole Clausen, tied the game with 7:07 left to play in the first half off a fine comer kick by speedy Ola Henmo. The go-ahead goal was scored by forward George Vukic on a beautiful cross by midfielder Ivar Suomsmo. "I would've had to be an idiot to miss that shot," said the modest Vukic, "Stromsmo took out three guys and left me in all alone." Once in the lead the Dons defense took over and shut down the San Diego offense. "I like to get the team fired up when we take a lead," said senior defender Alan Bailey, who inspired USF's tough defensive play (TheFoghorn).
