Men’s soccer seeks vengeance at Drake
When the No. 9 UCLA men’s soccer team takes the field today against Oregon State, it will not only be looking to get revenge for an earlier 1-0 loss against the Beavers in Corvallis, Ore., but will also be looking to secure a spot atop the Pac-10. The Bruins (8-3-2, 3-1-1 Pac-10) have not lost […]

In fact, the only noticeable similarity between the two days happened to be the results of the UCLA men’s soccer games. The No. 12 Bruins (7-3-2, 3-1-1 Pac-10) recorded their first two […]
