Final Stats
LOS ANGELES The ninth-ranked UCLA women¹s soccer team looked impressive in its 2004 season opener Friday, registering a pair of goals in each half to down San Diego, 4-0 in the season opener for both teams at UCLA¹s Drake Stadium. UCLA's Danesha Adams looked solid in her collegiate debut, scoring two of the Bruins¹ goals, including the first of the match in the 29th minute. After gathering a loose ball deep in USD territory, Adams cut across to the middle of the filed and unleashed a powerful right-footed shot past the outstretched hands of USD's freshman goalkeeper Karen Cook. UCLA held on to a 1-0 lead until less than five minutes remaining in the first half, when sophomore forward Bristyn Davis punched in a shot from about six yards out. Amy Fazio and Crystal James were credited with assists on that goal. The second half was a carbon copy of the first, with Adams and then Davis each scoring again. Adams registered her second goal of the match at the 62:13 mark on a driving header following a corner kick. Senior forward Kim Devine tapped a short ball to Lindsay Greco, who then crossed Adams for the goal. Davis finished the scoring for UCLA in the 86th minute of play on an unassisted goal. After dribbling down the left side of the field through the USD defense, Davis was able to draw out Cook and slip past a close-range shot from about nine yards out, giving the Bruins a 4-0 lead. Three USD freshmen started in there first match with the Toreros. Karen Cook started in goal, Vanessa Vella started on defense and Amy Epsten started at forward. Epsten managed one of four shots for San Diego, who were outshot 14-4. Senior Brooke Roby led the Toreros with two shots. Cook had three saves on the night.
