The Bruins finished off the season with a solid showing at WWLL Championships this weekend in Santa Barbara, going 2-1 on the weekend. After regular season play, UCLA was seeded 8th and slotted to face number 1 seeded Santa Clara in the quarterfinal match-up on Saturday. The Bruins came out strong and kept pace with the Broncos for a 5-5 game at halftime. For much of the second half, the Bruins were able to keep pace with the Broncos, only down 9-8 with 10 minutes to play. However, Santa Clara was able to control the last two draws, ultimately putting the game out of reach. Copyright 2024 - UCLA Women's Lacrosse | Website by LaxTeams.net
