LOS ANGELES, Calif. (UCFAthletics.com) - Coming off a 2-1 win over Fresno State in the NCAA Tournament First Round, UCF gets back to work Saturday when it faces host UCLA at 10 p.m. ET in the Second Round. The Knights are making their fourth-straight trip past the First Round, but are searching for their first Sweet Sixteen appearance since 1987.

A No. 4 seed for the NCAA Tournament, UCF earned the victory over the Bulldogs Thursday with two goals from Nicolette Radovcic and three saves out of keeper Aline Reis. Radovcic has now scored six goals in her last seven matches.

UCLA, meanwhile, is ranked as high as No. 24 in the nation according to Soccer Times, and have advanced to the College Cup in each of the last seven years. The Bruins reached the Second Round by way of a shootout against BYU after the two teams played to a 0-0 tie.

Saturday will mark the first meeting between UCF and UCLA.
