Women’s water polo in West Regionals The women’s water polo team
travels up the coast today as they enter the Western Regionals in
Berkeley. The Bruins (22-1) will face the California Golden Bears
for the third time this month. In their last matchup, UCLA beat the
Golden Bears to retain their Mountain Pacific Sports Federation
title. Coralie Simmons and Catharine von Schwarz continue to carry
the scoring load with 47 and 34 goals respectively. Nicolle Payne
has not shown any effects of her injury layoff since her return as
she leads the team toward their second straight collegiate
championship. She is 6-0 since her return. Men’s golf at Stanford
Invitational Still sitting firmly on the bubble for Regionals, the
UCLA men’s golf team will need to continue its string of top-10
performances as it competes in the Stanford Invitational this
weekend in Palo Alto. The Bruins will also need to outshoot schools
such as Stanford and California, who are also vying for a spot in
this year’s NCAA West Regional. The inconsistent Bruin team has
gained some stability in its last three tournaments as the team has
posted two fifth-place finishes and a seventh-place finish,
respectively. Water Polo
