The Bruins, who have outscored their opponents 9-0 in five NCAA matches, entered the College Cup as the only team yet to give up a goal in tournament play. UCLA's back line of Mary Castelanelli, Amy Fazio, Kendal Billingsley and Kim Devine turned in another solid performance Friday, posting its fifth-consecutive shutout in the NCAA Tournament. The Bruins move to 13-1 when Davis has either a goal or an assist. Davis, who now has a team-leading 14 goals on the year, dribbled to the center of the field and unleashed a 30-yard shot that appeared to catch Jackson off guard. UCLA, which outshot the Tigers, 9-3 on the day, added an insurance goal in the 65th minute on an unassisted strike by sophomore forward Bristyn Davis. "I thought I had an opportunity to put the game away early (in the second half) and that's what I tried to do." "It was basically the same play that we ran in the Ohio State game," said Adams of her goal. Princeton goalkeeper Madeleine Jackson made a diving attempt at the ball but was unable to deflect it. Adams used her speed to slash through the Tigers' back line and was able to take a touch before striking a low right-footed shot into the bottom left corner of the goal. Junior forward Iris Mora collected a ball in the middle of the field, turned and chipped the ball behind the Princeton defense and into space.
