Senior Liz Willemse is currently fifth on this season’s Bruin
roster in career games played with 39. She is also tied for fourth
with Staci Duncan in career points with 22.
€ € €
Venus James, second in career school scoring, with 34 points is
first on the current roster. Her nine points this season rank her
No. 17 in the conference.
€ € €
Freshman forward Staci Duncan continues to lead the Bruins in
scoring with 22 points, goals with eight and assists with six. Her
22 points are also enough to top the conference in scoring.
€ € €
Freshman Breana Boling, second on the team, is tied for sixth in
the Pac-10 with 14 points.
€ € €
Sophomore forward Tracey Milburn, third on the team, is No. 10
in the Pac-10 with 13 points.
€ € €
UCLA remains the only conference team undefeated away from home
(8-0-0). They look to improve on their 4-1-1 home record this
weekend versus California (2-0 Pac-10) and powerhouse Stanford.
€ € €
UCLA, consistently victorious all season, resumes its roller
coaster ride on the NSCAA polls. After reaching the ninth spot a
few weeks ago, the Bruins dropped to No. 18 following a 1-0-1 week.
They followed that effort with a 2-0 week and dropped to 20th. This
last 2-0 week at the Washington schools moved them back up to No.
14 in the polls. Ironically, things have been much steadier in the
Soccer America poll where UCLA has steadily ranked ninth as they
are this week.
€ € €
Stanford, this week, drops from ninth to 25th in the NSCAA poll
and drops from 10th all the way out of the Soccer America top 20
poll.
€ € €
The UCLA defense continues to impress. Through 14 games, the
Bruins have given up a meager six goals for a 0.41 goals against
average (GAA).
€ € €
The team has played the most games of any squad in conference
but is the only team to have given up single digit goals.
€ € €
Junior goal keeper Lindsay Culp leads the conference in keeping
with a 0.43 GAA.
€ € €
This weekend Milburn, who notched three more goals, Duncan and
Boling combined to score all five UCLA goals.
UCLA has an 11-game win streak and an 11-game Pac-10 win
streak.
The Bruins’ nine shutouts are one shy of the 1997 squad’s school
record of 10 and there are still seven regular season games to
go.
€ € €
Injured senior forward Larisa Kiremidjian and senior Louise
Lieberman are tied for fifth on the team in points with seven. They
are also in a nine-way conference tie for 25th. They are also tied
for second among active team members with 30 points
€ € €
Krista Boling has now started five consecutive games. Twin
sister Breana, has started each Bruin game this season along with
Karissa Hampton, Sommer Hammoud, Vanessa Clark, Skylar Little and
Culp.
€ € €
Prior to last season, the Bruins were a mere 0-2-1 vs. Stanford.
However, victorious in last year’s matchup, the Bruins now look to
even the all-time series up this weekend, trainling 1-2-1.
€ € €
UCLA (4-0-0) and Arizona State University (4-3-0) are the only
squads with winning road records. And the Bruins (8-0-0) and
Stanford (2-1-1) are the only teams in the Pac-10 with winning
records away from home.
