San Diego State will host UC San Diego in a women’s match Saturday at 7 p.m. at Snapdragon. Then on Labor Day, the Aztec men will host nationally ranked USD at Snapdragon at 5 p.m. The Toreros, Aztecs and UCSD men all made a trip to the East Coast last week. SDSU’s men (1-1) lost 2-0 at No. 17 Virginia, then scored a 2-0 win over Howard University in Washington, D.C. Second-half goals by Christian Engmann and Juan Zepeda propelled the Aztecs to Sunday’s win, and goalkeeper Eddy Vargas recorded a shutout. USD, which was ranked ninth and 10th in the two national preseason polls, opened the season with a 2-1 loss at No. 15 Duke then played No. 20 Furman to a scoreless tie. Before playing the Aztecs, USD will play at No. 4 Denver on Thursday. The Toreros are the defending West Coast Conference champions and reached the third round of the NCAA Tournament last year before being upset by Vermont at home. The UC San Diego men opened with the same road opponents as USD, losing 3-0 at Furman then 1-0 at Duke. Meanwhile, the San Diego State women (1-2) lost to two nationally ranked teams around a 1-0 win at home over Cal State Bakersfield. Texas Tech defeated San Diego State 4-0 on the Aztec Sports Deck. The Aztecs then lost 3-0 at Stanford. The USD women, who have played three ties thus far, have had two members of its team already earn WCC Player of the Week honors.

And redshirt freshman goalkeeper Chloe Walls (Francis Parker) was named the WCC Defensive Player of the Week for allowing one goal over two games in a 0-0 tie against UC Irvine and a 1-1 tie against UC Santa Barbara. The UCSD women will go into their match against the Aztecs with a 1-1-1 record. After losing 3-2 to California, the Tritons tied Northern Arizona 0-0 and defeated UNLV 3-2.
