IRVINE, Calif. - Despite outshooting UC Irvine by a margin of 13-2, UC Santa Barbara failed to score for the second straight match and fell to the Anteaters, 1-0 on Sunday afternoon.

Sydney Fuertes and Sydney Magnin each had three shots to pace Santa Barbara. Magnin and Mallory Hromatko had the only shots on goal for the Gauchos.
