The UCLA men’s tennis team’s run to the NCAA Championship was washed away in the rain Monday night.

The Bruins were not able to conquer their crosstown rival as they fell to the No. 1 Trojans, 4-1.

UCLA softball was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament in excruciating fashion Saturday.

The hosts of the Los Angeles Regional lost 2-1 in their elimination game with Florida State.

On a night in which UCLA softball grew frustrated with the home plate umpire and struggled to find their footing early against the nation’s leading pitcher in earned run average, the Bruins’ late rally against Hofstra seemed too good to be true for the hosts of the NCAA Los Angeles Regional.

The No.

Three men tried to rob a UCLA student at gunpoint late Wednesday night on Strathmore Avenue, police said.

Protesters holding signs and dressed in orange jumpsuits briefly interrupted the UC Board of Regents meeting in Sacramento Wednesday morning.

About 20 UC students, employees, teaching assistants and tutors broke into a chant and circled the audience, forcing the regents to take a recess and enter closed session.

Among them were several UCLA students, including Alex Yu a fifth-year history student and world arts and culture graduate student Matt Sandoval.

Students chanted, “That’s the sound of the students-working on the chain gang” and held up signs with messages such as “Long live the Guillotine.”

The regents had been discussing the draft of the Robinson-Edley report on UC protest policies before the chanting broke out.
