Only one program has more national championship trophies than the Bruins.
But if Friday night was any indicator, 2026 may see that deficit eliminated.
No. 1 UCLA men’s volleyball (19-0, 6-0 MPSF) swept No.

No. 1-seeded UCLA women’s basketball (34-1, 18-0 Big Ten) faces No. 3-seeded Duke (27-8, 16-2 ACC) in the Elite Eight in Sacramento on Sunday. The winner of the matchup will earn a bid to the Final Four in Phoenix.

The end is often inevitable
After riding a 22-game winning streak, No. 8 UCLA softball (28-4, Big Ten 9-1) was bested by No. 6 Nebraska (25-5, 7-0) 4-1.

No. 8 UCLA softball (28-3, 9-0 Big Ten) will face its first ranked conference opponent in No. 6 Nebraska (24-5, 6-0) in a three-game series spanning from Friday to Sunday.

While students flock from Westwood around the country for spring break, in-season athletes do not receive the same break.
In fact, quite the opposite with a litany of ranked opponents on the horizon.

Halfway there.
