#3/2 Denver men’s soccer (3-0-3) successfully completed one of the most challenging road trips in program history. DU’s final match of a season-opening six-match road trip to start the season took them to Los Angeles on Monday night to face the #6 UCLA Bruins (2-1-2) at Wallis Annenberg Stadium. The teams played to a scoreless halftime tie and carried the blank slate through the final fourth-five minutes. Final score 0-0.
DU generated the only shot-on-goal in the first half and outshot the home team 3-2. Two harmless corners were the closest threat from the Bruins.
The second half was tightly contested with UCLA outshooting DU 4-1 with two shots on goal. The Bruins’ seven corners in the half were stifled by the Denver defense.
DU keeper Isaac Nehme, reigning Summit League Player of the Week, earned his second clean sheet of the season. Denver finally returns home to Pioneer Field to host Yale in their home opener. Kickoff is set for Saturday evening at 7pm. Tickets are still available to give this team an extremely warm welcome home and congratulate them in person for the unbeaten long road trip at denverpioneers.com.
