Freshman Josh Hansen headed in a crossing pass from Tim Garlick with 11:20 remaining in regulation to power USF (6-5-2, 1-0 WCC) to a 2-1 come from behind victory over Loyola Marymount in the West Coast Conference soccer opener for both teams Friday night at Negoesco Stadium.

The Lions (7-5-0, 0-1 WCC) got on the board first when Jaret Asuncion headed in a pass from Arturo Torres just before halftime at the 41:20 mark. It was the first goal scored in regulation time against USF in the last five games.

USF tied the game at 54:04 when Gerard Hylkema headed in a free-kick from Bjorn Lier at 54:04 for his third goal of the season.

The Dons continued their pressure, hitting the crossbar once, and having a ball cleared off the line, before Hansen at 78:40. Garlick curled a long pass from the near touchline to Hansen who beat Lions' goalkeeper Jerad Bailey to the upper right corner. It was Hansen's second gamewinner of the year.

USF outshot Loyola Marymount 14-10 in the contest, with Bailey and USF keeper Scott Spaulding each recording three saves.

The Dons host 20th ranked San Diego Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at Negoesco Stadium.
