Box Score SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. --- UC Irvine's high-octane offense continued its roll with a 4-1 victory over host San Francisco Thursday night at Negoesco Stadium.

UC Irvine (6-2-1) had the offense running early scoring on the game's first shot. Alvaro Quezada's corner kick rattled in the box falling to Jose Soto to tap the ball in for his first career goal and give the 'Eaters at 1-0 lead in the fifth minute.

USF woke up with the final six shots of the half, but still trailed 2-0 to the Anteaters thanks to four Greg Patenaude saves.

The defense held strong until defensive midfielder Daniel Crisostomo put the 'Eaters up 3-0 off a feed from Jose Ortiz in the 71st minute.

Less than three minutes later the lead grew to 4-0 from Ivan Canales all but sealing the 'Eaters' third straight win.
