November 22, 2019 | Women's Soccer
LOS ANGELES โ UCLA jumped out to an early lead and coasted to a 5-0 win over Clemson in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The No. 2 seed Bruins advance to the third round, where they will host No. 3 seed Wisconsin on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 4pm.
Freshman Mia Fishel got the ball rolling for the Bruins in the fifth minute, combining with senior Chloe Castaneda on a give-and-go. Fishel headed the ball to Castaneda, who crossed back to Fishel in the box. Fishel finished with her left to beat Clemson goalkeeper Sandy MacIver for her team-leading 10th goal of the season.
Junior defender Lucy Parker doubled the lead in the 31st minute with a header off a set piece. Ashley Sanchez started the play by sending a free kick to Chloe Castaneda in the box. Castaneda headed it across to Parker, who popped it over a leaping MacIver for her fourth goal of the year. Six minutes later, Sanchez scored a goal of her own, hitting in a banger from outside the box.
Kali Trevithick recorded the Bruins' fourth goal of the half, scoring in the 42nd minute off a cross from Sunny Dunphy. UCLA outshot Clemson 9-1 in the first half, including a 7-1 shots on goal advantage.
