After opening the postseason in their backyard, the Bruins will travel across the country for their next competition.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
And after barely surviving the beginning of the postseason last year, the Bruins return in a much stronger form.

The Bruins’ worst result of the year took place in front of the cameras.
No. 14 UCLA women’s golf placed seventh with a 19-over 883 at the inaugural GameAbove Invitational in Rolling Hills Estates, California.

Midterms, illness and an unfamiliar course were not enough to weigh the Bruins down.
Then-No. 11 UCLA women’s golf placed third with an 18-over 870 mark at the Alice and John Wallace Classic in Palm Desert, California, overcoming high fevers en route to its second-straight strong finish after a win at the Therese Hession Regional Challenge from Feb.

The Bruins’ winter season entered full swing with a loss to their crosstown rivals.
No. 23 UCLA women’s golf fell to No. 2 USC 3.5-1.5 in the fourth edition of the Battle for LA, evening the series record to 2-2.

In many professional sports, middle-of-the-pack performances can feel uniquely frustrating for fans and players – too low for chances of postseason success but too high for enticing draft picks.
