San Diego State entered Friday’s soccer match against the Seattle University Redhawks (1-2) after winning three games in six days and seeking the program’s first 4-0 start since 1996.

The Aztecs (4-0, 0-0 MW) remain undefeated after getting off to a quick start when redshirt senior defender Tiffany Hurst scored a goal in the first minute of the game off a crossing pass from sophomore forward Hannah Keane.

“We work on those plays a lot, getting to the penalty spot specifically,” Hurst said. “(Keane) played a perfect ballback and I was just trying to hit it on frame.”

The Aztecs added to their lead a minute later when sophomore

forward Haley Locker knocked in a goal after redshirt junior midfielder Sophie Metz fired a shotoff the crossbar. The ball seemed to cross the goal line before quickly bouncing out where Locker was positioned. She didn’t hesitate to knock the ball in and added another goal to the Aztecs lead. Metz was credited with the assist.

A Seattle scoring opportunity followed when Aztec redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Rachel Boaz came flying out of the box to punch away a cross, only to have a shot come back her way on the rebound. Boaz quickly dove to make the save, helping the Aztecs take a 2-0 lead into halftime.

The Aztecs looked fatigued in the second half, recording only two shots compared to the eight shots from the first half.

“Our legs were heavy in the second half and I think they did a good job just fighting,” Aztecs head coach Mike Friesen said.

Boaz recorded SDSU’s fourth straight shutout to start the season.

“That’s an impressive thing – to go four straight games with shutouts,” Friesen said. “I think we’ve done a good job, not just in getting shutouts, but we really have eliminated the other teams’ chances to even get opportunities. That’s the thing that’s impressive for me.”

The Aztecs will face No. 8 Pepperdine at 7 p.m. this Friday at the SDSU Sports Deck.
