5 DAYS AGO - Dare we also say, BYE DAN The day is here — and so far, so good. Martin Jarmond’s first day as UCLA Athletic Director has kicked off with a new initiative.

Martin wants to hear from the Bruin community, the people who know UCLA best!➡️: https://t.co/QxBy1TcYl4#GoBruins pic.twitter.com/el0K74opeB— UCLA Athletics (@UCLAAthletics) July 1, 2020 Jarmond explained the initiative even more in a letter to the UCLA community: Bruins, I’m writing to you today honored to be your new athletic director and excited to get to Collapse

7 DAYS AGO - Bruins product Sam Mewis. Plenty of Bruins in action on Saturday. The 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup opened play Saturday, and the curtain-raiser featured key contributions from two UCLA products. Both goals scored by the North Carolina Courage in their 2-1 win over the Portland Thorns were assisted by Bruins. Making her NWSL debut off the bench, defender Hailie Mace hit a beautiful cross from the right side that was headed in by Debinha to open the scoring in the game in the 75th minute. 2019 #NWSLChampionship MVP and now first goalscorer at the #NWSLChallengeCup. @Debinha7 is always on a mission.1-0 | #NCvPOR Tune in now on @CBS, @CBSAllAccess, and @Twitch. pic.twitter.com/ZynNgO2rd1— NWSL (@NWSL) June 27, 2020 Then, deep in second-half stoppage time, with the game tied 1-1, Sam Mewis made a push forward to try and win the game, and broadly replicated Mace’s earlier play, running up the right side and hitting a cross that was headed in, this time by Lynn Williams, to win the Collapse

6/23/2020 - Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Guerrero’s days are numbered while plans to re-open training facilities are displayed The days are short. The nights are even shorter. The time has come that Dan Guerrero is hanging it up as UCLA’s athletic director. And you may not have thought so, but the tributes to Guerrero’s career are starting to come to light.
