OSU dominated possession and the ball was in UCLA's half mostly through ten minutes, but the Bruins found a great long ball, Grayson Doody cheested it down, and poked it into the back of the net! 1-0 Bruins! Cheeky past and a great finish!

Well, crap. The Bruins let that one get away. First, the Bruins only recorded one shot on goal the entire the game. Not great, but we knew OSU had a solid backline, only allowing 5 shots on goal all season thru four games.

But UCLA did itself no favors otherwise. The Beavers equalized in the 74th minute on a free kick, and then in the 78th minute Luke Bone received his second yellow card, the resulting red card, and was sent off. The Bruins were unable to see the game out with 10 players, conceding the game winner in the 85th minute on a long shot from outside the box that UCLA keeper Garces didn't appear to see quickly, reacting too late to the ball.

2-1 loss. It is just not happening for this squad right now.
