On a cloudy Friday afternoon at Prentup Field, the University of Colorado soccer team hosted the No. 3 UCLA Bruins in their first Pac-12 conference home game of the season. Despite the Buffs’ best efforts in the second half, CU was unable to overcome an early UCLA goal and fell 1-0.
The Buffs are now 1-2-1 in the Pac-12 and 4-3-1 overall. UCLA remains at the top of the Pac-12 standings with a perfect 4-0 record in conference play.
UCLA wasted no time attacking early in the game. In the seventh minute, a deflected pass found the leg of UCLA midfielder Delanie Sheehan who kicked a rocket from just outside the penalty box and towards the lower right end of the goal.
