Postseason

[edit]

The UCLA Bruins have an NCAA Division I Tournament record of 71–22 (including penalty kicks) through twenty-one appearances.

One of their most notable runs, the second-seeded Bruins trounced their first three opponents each by a 5–0 margin, before falling in the Elite Eight to the first-seeded UNC Tar Heels, who lead the nation with 22 NCAA Championship titles in program history. The match was decided in penalty kicks after regular time and overtime ended in a 2–2 draw.[when?][5]

Stadium

[edit]
Wallis Annenberg Stadium, UCLA venue since 2018

The Bruins played their home games on the Frank Marshall Field of Drake Stadium on campus until 2017. The stadium is named in honor of Elvin C. "Ducky" Drake, UCLA's longtime trainer and former student athlete. Film producer Marshall graduated from UCLA.

In 2018, the Bruins moved to the soccer-specific stadium, Wallis Annenberg Stadium, along with the UCLA Bruins men's soccer program. On September 23, 2022, a capacity crowd of 2,237 saw the women's team defeating Cal 4–2 at Annenberg Stadium.

Notable alumni

[edit]

This list of former players includes those who received international caps, made significant contributions to the team in terms of appearances or goals, or who made significant contributions to the sport after they left. It is clearly not yet complete and all inclusive, and additions and refinements will continue to be made over time.

Another notable Bruin is Mallory Swanson, who played just one season at UCLA before going professional. She is a starting forward on the U.S. women's national team as well as on the Chicago Red Stars in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).
