Paul Nets Game-Winner In 90th Minute
October 27, 2022 | Men's Soccer
BERKELEY, Calif. โ Ilijah Paul notched the game-winner in the 90th minute sealing Washington's 2-1 victory over Cal on Thursday afternoon to stay on top of the Pac-12 standings.
ย
The No. 1 Huskies move to 13-0-2 on the season with a 5-0-1 mark in Pac-12 action. The 15-match unbeaten streak matches a program record to start a season which was set in 2013 when Washington started the year 11-0-4.
ย
Paul's goal at 89:51 just missed the latest regulation goal in program history, which was scored by Seth Marsh vs. Portland in 2001 at 89:53.
ย
Jadon Bowton recorded three saves in the contest, as the Washington defense limited Cal to just nine shots on the day, only four on goal.
ย
Off the set piece in the 32nd minute, Chris Meyers sent the corner kick into the box for Nick Scardina to put Washington up 1-0. Meyers now leads the team with nine assists.
ย
The Golden Bears leveled the score in the 35th minute on a penalty kick.
ย
In the final seconds of the match, Paul hit the game-winner for his team-leading 10th goal of the season off the assist by Gabe Threadgold.
ย
Up next, Washington heads to Stanford for a Top-5 matchup with the Cardinal on Sunday afternoon on The Farm.
