The conference foes then played a relatively even first half, with the Bears edging SDSU in shots, 8-7.
With less than 10 seconds left in the opening stanza, Davila sent a pass to Lara on the flank, and the midfielder crossed the ball into the box. The unmarked Guzman fired past goalkeeper Logan Erb for his second goal and second game-winning goal of the season.
