LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The Cal State Fullerton Titans women's soccer team lost at #1 UCLA 5-1 on Sunday evening at Wallis Annenburg Stadium.
The Titans (3-2-3) lost their second game against a Top 5 opponent as they lost against then ranked #3 BYU in the 2022 season opener.
The Bruins (6-0) outshot the Titans 23-to-7 for the game with 12 shots on goal to the Titans two. Mia Ranson kept the scoreline from being worse and she had 7 saves for the game.
The Bruins found the breakthrough goal in the 31st minute after having an open header on goal. They would add a second goal towards the end of a half on a laser shot from Maricarmen Reyes from the side of the 18-yard box.
The Titans started the second half strongly with the TItans pulling within one goal in the 60th minute. Kaya Hawkinson had a free kick from the left of the 18-yard box. Her ball sailed through the defense past the keeper into the goal for her first goal of the season.
