WESTWOOD, Calif. - In Game Two of the UCLA Pacific Soccer Classic, No. 2 UCLA defeated Air Force 1-0 behind senior midfielder Sasha Victorine's ninth goal of the season.

The score would stand up, as UCLA goalkeeper Nick Rimando preserved the shutout, his third consecutive and sixth overall. UCLA's defense held Air Force to just seven shots. Air Force's best scoring opportunity came in the 29th minute, when midfielder Brandon Jones launched a shot that went just wide past a diving Rimando.
