LOS ANGELES - The Wisconsin men's soccer team (2-4-0, 0-2-0 B1G) fell to the UCLA Bruins (2-3-2, 2-0-0 B1G) Friday night, 3-1. The Badgers scored first with a goal from Cristobal Porter, but the Bruins scored three unanswered goals to seal their victory. 

How It Happened:

The Badgers didn't take long to get settled in Los Angeles, finding the back of the net in the fifth minute. Gianluca Del Priore passed out of pressure to Markie Hrvojevic, who set up Cristobal Porter for a one-touch goal to the right side of the net.

UCLA responded quickly with a goal from graduate student Konstantinos Georgallides in the ninth minute. Philip Naef and Sergi Solans earned assists. 

Wisconsin's Wade Stinson thought he found the back of the net in the 41st minute, but the goal was waved off as Stinson committed a foul before his shot. The two teams entered the half tied at one. 

The Bruins took the lead in the 60th minute with a goal from redshirt sophomore Sergi Solans. Francis Bonsu tallied an assist. 

Freshman Francis Bonsu scored his first career goal eight minutes later to give the Bruins a 3-1 lead. Sean Sent and Sergi Solans were credited with assists.

Key Notes:

• UCLA picked 4th in the Big Ten Preseason poll, Wisconsin picked 8th.

• Only the third meeting with UCLA in Wisconsin men's soccer history (1-1-1).

• Cristobal Porter scored his first goal as a Badger.

• UCLA's Sergi Solans tallied four points against the Badgers, extending his goal streak to three games.
