For most high school seniors, spring brings prom, graduation and nights out with friends.
But for redshirt junior Emon van Loben Sels and redshirt freshman Cassius Chinlund, there was no second half of senior year.

A heavyweight fight ensued the last time these two teams met, culminating in an endgame blow.
This time, the punch came almost immediately.
And with it, the Bruins’ season came to an end.

The rally spanned eight shots and 14 seconds.
As an errant shot from her opponent flew out of bounds, Ahmani Guichard began to realize what she had just accomplished.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”
Dickens’ line directly applied to the Bruins’ Big Ten tournament outing.
No. 4 seed UCLA women’s tennis (16-7, 9-4 Big Ten) defeated No.

May’s first day was a roaring success for the Bruins.
For the squad across the net, it was Mayday.
UCLA men’s tennis (18-7, 10-3 Big Ten) trounced Arizona State (17-11, 4-4 Big 12) 4-0 Friday in the first round of the NCAA tournament at the Skip and Cindy Hogan Tennis Center in San Diego.

In the heart of the desert, the Bruins will face the heat of the moment.
Four months of preparation will culminate in the final set of battles.

No. 5 seed UCLA men’s tennis (16-6, 10-3 Big Ten) has officially concluded its regular season and will head to the Big Ten tournament in Ojai, California, to open tournament play against No.

Familiarity breeds contempt.
But for the Bruins, it brings routine and comfort at a time when they may need it most.
No. 21 UCLA men’s tennis (14-6, 8-3 Big Ten) will face Oregon (14-8, 5-6) on Friday at the Student Tennis Center in Eugene before taking on Washington (8-15, 2-9) on Sunday at the Lloyd Nordstrom Tennis Center in Seattle.

The “passing of the torch” is a distinct and intimate phenomenon in the sports world.
Sometimes it can be encapsulated by a glance.
Sometimes it can be realized by an affirmation.

March Madness is often remembered by its buzzer-beaters. This year’s festivities were no different, with Connecticut guard Braylon Mullins drilling a 35-foot 3-pointer to topple No.
