A sparse crowd dotted the Rose Bowl’s stands while the Bruins’ new roster practiced on the gridiron Saturday afternoon.
It was UCLA football’s spring showcase, framed as a sneak peek into the 2025 season – one that will be reshaped following offseason exits to graduation, the transfer portal and the NFL.

BERKELEY – Alexander Hoogmartens seemed far from frazzled when he dropped his second set Saturday.
After securing the first set against California’s Timofey Stepanov 7-6 (7), the Bruin veteran succumbed to an early deficit in the second stanza, after which he opted to take his foot off the gas – accepting the 6-1 steamroll – and conserve energy for the final set.

Staring down the barrel of a 6-4 deficit in a winner-takes-all tiebreaker set, Ahmani Guichard had no room for error.
A single mistake and her team would be closing the shutters on their season.

Fielding has been one of the Bruins’ strengths this year.
Heading into the weekend, they sat fourth in fielding percentage, with just 23 errors through 53 games.

GULF SHORES, Ala. – Since beach volleyball’s inception into the NCAA in 2016, no other school has won an NCAA championship in the sport other than UCLA and USC.

The Ivy League had one team in the NCAA women’s tennis championship at 9 a.m.
But less than three hours later, it had none.
UCLA women’s tennis (17-8, 10-3 Big Ten) delivered the final blow, opening its NCAA tournament run with a 4-0 sweep over Harvard (15-9, 7-0 Ivy League) at MTSU Tennis Complex in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, on Friday morning.

BERKELEY, Calif. – Giacomo Revelli shuffled at the baseline, locked in a teetering rally as all eyes surrounding court six were glued to the affair.
And for Billy Martin’s crew – with the senior’s match-clinching a 6-3, 7-5 win over Matei Gavrea – the NCAA men’s tennis championship would begin with not a nail-biter, but a sweep.
