The Gulls only won by one goal, but dominated the game, out-shooting Idaho 42-22. Sandro Sbrocca and Pederson netted goals for San Diego and Cory Morgan got the lone tally for Idaho. Jason Cugnet, who made some spectacular saves, stopped 40 shots.
GULLS 4, Bakersfield 1; at Bakersfield, Saturday, Nov. 2: Enga notched two goals and two assists leading the Blue and Orange to an easy three-goal victory.
