CONCORD, Calif. — Few possess a role in carving out and maintaining De La Salle’s place among the great high school football programs like that of UCLA alumnus Justin Alumbaugh.

Athens, Ga. — Kyle McPhillips floated up a lob which came back to her in the form of a smash that buried her in a 0-40 hole.

ATHENS, Ga. — Two members of the women’s tennis team capitalized on missed opportunities from past NCAA tournament exits in the Bruins’ 4-3 title game victory over the University of North Carolina Tar Heels, while one player became a champion on her last possible chance.

A year after getting within a foot of becoming national champions, the men’s tennis team fell four points short of its second straight title-game berth.
UCLA surrendered consecutive third-set tiebreakers on courts one and six in falling to No.

National title hopes for UCLA men’s tennis ended in the NCAA semifinals Monday night against Oklahoma. Third-set tiebreaker losses for senior Clay Thompson and sophomore Karue Sell, on courts 1 and 6, ended a season that saw the Bruins ranked as a top-5 team throughout.

Rain forced the UCLA men’s tennis team to relocate from Athens, Ga. to Atlanta for its NCAA quarterfinals match Sunday. A one-and-a-half hour trip factored into a match start time more than two hours later than originally planned.

UCLA men’s tennis earned a spot in the Final Four of the NCAA tournament by winning four straight singles points over Ohio State on Sunday night for a 4-2 win.

Men’s Tennis:
A Second Chance
After last year’s 4-3 loss in the finals, UCLA men’s tennis begins NCAA team championship play Friday in Athens, Ga., looking for another chance at the national title.

Drafted 192nd overall, UCLA linebacker Jordan Zumwalt is now a Pittsburgh Steeler.
Zumwalt’s football identity features versatility and a penchant for splash plays. He started all 13 games in 2013, playing inside and outside, for the Bruins, forcing three fumbles and notching two interceptions while serving as one of UCLA’s leaders in reel-worthy tackles.

The NFL draft – which begins with the first round Thursday – brings with it the chance for a new batch of UCLA athletes to realize their dreams.
