Welcome to Bruins Nation’s preview of the UCLA Women’s 2018 Soccer team. It is an exciting time for UCLA soccer for a number of reasons.
First, many critical pieces from UCLA’s 2017 season are returning. That squad went 19-3-3, and fell to Stanford, 3-2, in the 2017 NCAA Championship game in Orlando, Florida. Stanford had the Bruins’ number last year, with two of the Bruins three losses coming at the hands of the Cardinal, with the third on the road at Washington State.
Second, the Bruins will no longer be playing at Drake Stadium. The UCLA women will christen shiny and new Wallis Annenberg Stadium, located on what used to the North Athletic Field.
