The game against Washington State had ended, but it was more than a win that gave reason for celebration.

It was only fitting, perhaps, that Lauren Barnes emerged the heroine on Sunday afternoon.

The sound of playful laughter and enthusiastic cheers floated across the North Athletic Field on a crisp Wednesday morning as the UCLA women’s soccer team ended practice with a lighthearted shooting game.

The sights and the sounds were majestic to behold.
The venue of choice was the grand Los Angeles Coliseum; its familiar football field was converted into a soccer pitch, yet the bright lights flooded down upon a green still marked off with 10-yard lines and a pair of endzones.

The spectators filed in by the thousands, buzzing over an evening bout that featured a city’s most cherished rivalry.
