Arizona State (4-6-2, 1-2-1 Pac-12) fell to the top team in the country, UCLA (11-0-1, 4-0-0 Pac-12), by a score of 3-0 on Thursday night at Sun Devil Soccer Stadium.
After losing 6-0 to No. 2 Stanford on Sunday, the Sun Devils looked better against No. 1 UCLA.
ASU played stout defense in the first half, including when Angela Boyle, the Sun Devils’ defender cleared a ball that got past Nikki Panas, ASU’s goalkeeper.
Their only blemish of the first half was when Hailie Mace of UCLA scored the first goal of the game from the top of the box to give the Bruins the 1-0 lead in the 19th minute for her 10th goal of the season.
