On Sunday, the UCLA Bruins beat Cal Poly 1-0 and snapped the Mustangs’ 5-game winning streak.

Cal Poly had several close chances that were called offiside in the physical match. The Mustangs led in shots-on-goal 4-2, but UCLA was able to put one of their chances into the back of the net.

The Bruins’ Fernando Monge scored the only goal of the match in the first minute of the second half on a header from a corner kick.

With the loss, Cal Poly finished their 5-game preseason homestand with a 4-1 record. Their record on the season is now 5-3 going in to Big West play. Conference competition begins this weekend when Cal Poly travels to Fullerton and Riverside. The Mustangs are next at home October 5th and 7th vs. Cal State Northridge and UC Irvine.
