When the seedings for the NCAA men's soccer tournament were announced Monday afternoon, the reaction in the UCLA locker room was not one of dejected disappointment, nor was it one of unadulterated joy. Read more...

If the past two matches have been any indication, the Bruins are banking on perseverance to guide them through the postseason bedlam. After grinding out a wild, shoot-out win on Thursday, the UCLA women's soccer team was back at it again on Saturday, delivering yet another gutsy performance against a similarly relentless No. Read more...

You couldn't draw up two more different beginnings to a basketball season, not even if you were Pablo Picasso or Vincent van Gogh. A year after being stunned in double overtime by Cal State Fullerton to open the 2009-2010 season, the UCLA men's basketball team hosted Cal State Northridge Friday in the inaugural contest of the 2010-2011 campaign. It was quickly apparent that this was a different Bruin team. Read more...

It beat the Arizona State Sun Devils in three straight sets on Friday and disposed of the No. 20 Arizona Wildcats in four sets on Saturday to improve its record to 19-7 on the year.

Often times when teams aren't able to control every aspect of their destiny, they tend to fail to compete at the highest level. When the California Bears clinched the Pac-10 title with a 3-2 victory against Stanford last week, things could have gone south for UCLA with a lackadaisical effort. "Unfortunately, even though our record is outstanding, we hoped that we could (control our destiny) after Thursday," coach Jorge Salcedo said. But for captain junior Andy Rose, UCLA had more to prove and always something to play for. "Obviously, the fact that we couldn't win the Pac-10 was in the back of our mind, but to be honest, we're just playing for that top seed," he said.
