Cougs and Aztecs trade goals, settle for a draw
A 3-3 draw against San Diego State feels like one of those games where you leave the field not sure whether to be relieved or frustrated. The Cougs traded goals with the Aztecs all afternoon, and neither side blinked. That's soccer. You take the point and move on, but you also know there were chances to steal it.
This is a team that keeps finding ways to stay in fights. They don't fold, even when the other side answers every push. That matters. It's not always pretty, but it's honest.
