Before the game, the UCLA Gymnastics team will be honored for winning their 7th NCAA title and UCLA’s 115th. A few weeks ago, the Bruins did the impossible when they came from behind to take the championship away from Oklahoma behind two perfect 10’s from Peng Peng Lee. It was the perfect ending to a magical season.
Last week, the UCLA Gymnastics were able to celebrate with fans as the team was honored with a rally at Bruin Plaza where the coaches and team members were able to tell the tale of their amazing feat as well as display their latest hardware.
Also set for UCLA Night is gymnastics’ sophomore and Dodgers superfan Felicia Hano throwing out the first pitch. But that is not all.
Former track and field Bruin Drew Drysdale (daughter of one of the greatest UCLA Women’s basketball players in history, Ann Meyers Drysdale — who is married to former Dodgers great Don Drysdale) will honor America by singing the national anthem before the game. That is a whole lot of UCLA in one night.
