11/09/25 - UCSD Takes on UCLA in Their Second League Game of the Year

UCSD has had a tough schedule to start off their league season, playing UCSB and UCLA, both of which are going to nationals. UCSD made the trip up to UCLA this past Saturday to face the Bruins. UCSD begins the first half strong, they appear to be composed and making many connections. Shima Dixon had a shot on goal but it was deflected off UCLA’s defender. UCSD’s goalie Teah Glorie made multiple diving saves to keep a clean sheet in the first half. 

The tritons came out strong again in the second half. They kept possession the majority of the time. It was an equal matchup throughout the whole game. Adelka Hancova had a shot that just missed wide. Just a little bit after that Allie Spong had a free kick outside the 18 yard box and hit the crossbar. Luck was not on the tritons side. With about 15 minutes left UCLA capitalized on a mistake and had a tap in goal. The tritons tried to fight back and had a few shots at the end of the game but were unlucky. The final score ended 0-1 UCLA, but there were a lot of positives that came out of the game.
