Even though the schedule says the season is young and only five official games are in the books, the No. 6 UCLA women’s soccer team (3-1-1) has already played through a season’s worth of emotions and scenarios.

This summer, a rare incident occurred in the athletic world at our fine institution that set this summer apart from the numerous ones before it.

In the 78th minute of play on Saturday night, with the Los Angeles Galaxy down 1-0 to English Premier League powerhouse Chelsea, David Beckham officially arrived.

After six months of anticipation and speculation, the Beckhams have finally landed in Los Angeles. I say Beckhams because Victoria Beckham, formerly Posh Spice of the Spice Girls and now wife of David, is a media entity all of herself.

Following two heart-wrenching and bitter losses to Cal State Fullerton in the Super Regionals, you could see it in the eyes and hear it in the voices of the players and coaches.

Summer is officially here, and it means one thing for UCLA baseball: the start of summer league baseball for many of the Bruin players.

I can remember the date, time and place like it was yesterday.
