Taking on Stanford will be a tough task, but nothing the Bruins can not handle. Standford is 24-1 on the year, and that one loss was to the Bruins. UCLA, who is 27-4, had defeated Stanford 9-6 in the UC Irvine Invitational in February. These two teams have faced each other twice after that with the Cardinal grabbing 9-8 and 6-5 victories.
That all ceases to matter at 5:30 p.m. when these two teams go for it one last time… for the NCAA Championship.
We're gonna need a big Bruin crowd tomorrow. Hope to see you there! #questFor111 #goBruins #NCAAChampionships pic.twitter.com/RjtkLR1opy
