Tennessee soccer plays UCLA to scoreless draw​

Tennessee soccer couldn’t find a way past UCLA’s defense, ending the game with a 0-0 draw.

Neither the Lady Vols (3-1-1) nor the No. 9 Bruins (5-1-1) found a goal despite numerous chances on both ends. The two teams combined for 23 shots on target, but none found the back of the net.

Both goalkeepers had a strong performance. Tennessee’s Ally Zazzara saved all five shots on target she faced, and UCLA’s Ryan Campbell made five saves.


Here are some takeaways from the scoreless draw.

Reese Mattern gave the Lady Vols their first shot on target by taking advantage of a UCLA turnover, but her shot was saved. Jaida Thomas nearly scored off a Tennessee corner kick, but UCLA’s goalkeeper made the stop.
