Reminiscing about my time at UCLA, I experience many emotions and nostalgic moments. I am super grateful to be part of the Bruin family, and it is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
When I think of UCLA water polo, there is one word that comes to my mind – sisterhood.
Being a junior in high school, trying to decide where to spend your next four years is a nerve-racking and stressful time.
After UCLA gymnastics (33-4) ended its 2026 campaign in April with a national semifinal upset by Minnesota, the collegiate gymnastics world quickly turned its attention toward what 2027 could look like and how the Bruins will adjust to life without soon-to-graduate Jordan Chiles.
The sun is rising.
The page is turning.
And UCLA women’s soccer is entering the upcoming season with a new, yet familiar, pioneer.
Last December, UCLA announced that former assistant coach Gof Boyoko, who helped coach the Bruins to an NCAA championship in 2022, would be replacing Margueritte Aozasa as the new women’s soccer head coach.
The 2025-26 year saw momentous occasion after momentous occasion take place for UCLA Athletics. From championship banners to program records, Westwood saw another year of history being made.

It takes a lot to create a legacy.
But it takes even more to uphold one.

And for UCLA men’s volleyball, dominance throughout the 2026 season wouldn’t have been possible without associate head coach Milan Zarkovic.
