They will be facing the WCC Champion San Diego team, boasting a record of 15-2-2, on Sunday evening at Torero Stadium in San Diego, California. Vermont’s impressive run has seen them score seven goals in this tournament, with Yaniv Bazini contributing three goals. Their opponent, San Diego, has a strong winning percentage and has been dominant in the NCAA Tournament with a pair of 1-0 wins.
In their NCAA history, Vermont has shown their strength at home and this year marks their fourth straight tournament appearance.
