San Diego State men’s soccer lost 2-1 against UCLA in extra time on Saturday evening at the SDSU Sports Deck.
The matchup against UCLA marked SDSU’s fifth Pac-12 Conference game and third home loss this season.
The Bruins pressed aggressively in the opening minutes by maintaining ball possession and attacking style of play. It was difficult for the Aztecs to be pushed back so early on in the match.
SDSU sophomore defender Dane Rozas felt that even though UCLA forced pressure early, the team remained collective as a unit.
“The first ten to fifteen minutes, they were on our heels,” Rozas said.
