Titans Take Down No. 6 UCLA on the Road

LOS ANGELES – For the first time since 1997 and 1998 the Titans defeated UCLA in back-to-back seasons, handing No. 6 UCLA its first loss of the season with a 3-1 victory on the road Thursday night. 

Jorge Quintero gave the Titans an early 1-0 lead in the 12th minute of play, getting a foot on the ball on a low cross into the box from Roberto Ordonez. Fernando Valenzuela also assisted on the goal. 

Just under 30 seconds later, Valenzuela stole the ball in the Bruins zone and had a perfect touch on the ball to put it over the UCLA goalkeeper to put Fullerton up 2-0 in the 12th minute. Valenzuela had three points in the game with one goal and one assist. 

UCLA cut the Titans lead to 2-1 early in the second half, scoring in the 50th minute of action to bring the Bruins within one goal. 

The Titans quickly got the goal back, scoring on a penalty kick by Sulaiman Bah in the 53rd to regain a two-goal lead at 3-1. 

Fullerton's defense stood strong for the remainder of the game to keep the two-goal lead intact and earn the Titans three points on the road against the No. 6 team in the country. 

The Titans are back in action Friday, Sept. 13 as LMU comes to Titan Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. PT.
