Coach Cori Close preaches consistency as the standard for her team.
Remaining consistent, though, is difficult to do when the bar is an 87-point victory.

Three members of UCLA men’s soccer were selected in the second round of the MLS SuperDraft on Thursday. 
Junior defender Tre Wright was drafted 33rd overall by Real Salt Lake, graduate student defender Schinieder Mimy was drafted 38th by the New England Revolution and senior midfielder Tarun Karumanchi was drafted 49th by the Columbus Crew.

It took Lauren Betts just 14 minutes to record a double-double. 
And after logging the coveted feat well before halftime, the senior center ran with the momentum to record a season-high 24 points in No.

A hefty share of offseason transfers – including every member of last year’s freshman class – left former Bruins scattered across the country.
And as a result, facing off against former teammates has become a norm for the Bruins.

A 23-point deficit in the third quarter had seemingly written the Bruins off. 
But coach Cori Close’s squad – who averaged 82.8 points to its opponent’s 53.3 entering Wednesday’s matchup – did not give up so easily. 
Despite closing the gap to four points, No.

Coach Cori Close often preaches that five of the last six national champions boasted the top defense in the country.

Four Bruins have recorded double-digit scoring performances across the past two contests.  
And on Saturday night, the squad proved the ceiling has yet to be set, as a season-high six athletes achieved the feat.

Elina Aarnisalo paved the way on the court.
The former Bruin guard was not competing for head coach Cori Close, though. Instead, she was facing off against her former teammates on the other side of the ball as a Tar Heel, recording a team-high 13 points. 
No.

After upsetting Washington in Seattle on Friday night, UCLA men’s soccer (6-6-4, 5-3-2 Big Ten) earned a berth to the abbreviated Big Ten Tournament, which features only four teams this year.

The first ranked contest of the season presented a test for the Bruins.
A loss – even to a top-10 team – would reverse the dominant tone for the season the squad had established with its first two victories. 
But an efficient second half quelled any glimmer of an upset over No.
