LOS ANGELES — Oregon pushed No. 9 UCLA for a full 90 minutes Thursday before falling 2-1 at Wallis Annenberg Stadium.
The Bruins needed a score on a set piece – the third of three straight free kicks awarded to UCLA deep in Oregon territory – to escape with the win.
How It Happened:
The Ducks (7-7-1, 1-6) and Bruins scored goals :21 apart in the opening minutes of the game. After Ashley Sanchez dribbled through a couple of UO defenders and found the net to put the Bruins ahead 1-0 in the fifth minute, the Ducks immediately went on the attack on the ensuing kickoff.
