The UCLA Bruins men’s soccer team picked up a 2-0 win on Thursday night over LMU. The Bruins got a pair of goals from graduate transfer Edrey Caceres in the match.
It was a nice night for the Bruins as a trio of players played their first college match. Sveinn Hauksson, Shakir Nixon, and Tamir Ratoviz have now played in a college soccer match. Five others got their first career match with the Bruins under their belt.
Goaltender Sam Joseph recorded a clean sheet. It was the third of his career. The Bruins defense helped him out big time, as they allowed just two shows on the net in the final 30 minutes. UCLA finished with 14 shots, while the Lions had 7.
