Team’s loss to No. 2 Stanford a given, but there’s hope

In the end, it was the upset that might have been. A fantastic effort early was thwarted by injury and No. 8 UCLA couldn’t sustain its momentum, losing to defending national champion No. 1 USC (24-30, 30-26, 30-17, 30-17) in the NCAA Quarterfinals. One night earlier, the Bruins dug deep, literally and figuratively, in order […]
Volleyball sweeps first NCAA foes
With workmanlike efficiency, the UCLA women’s volleyball team methodically went about its business in dismantling its first two foes in the NCAA tournament.
