The women’s basketball team coming off a Sweet Sixteen run last season in the NCAA tournament, is receiving a lot of recognition this preseason as they are ranked high in multiple preseason polls.

Next is the women’s golf team which is currently ranked No. 7 in the country. They placed in 1st in the Windy City Collegiate Classic and defeated No. 14 USC to defend its title at the second annual Battle for the Bell.

The women’s swim and dive team is ranked No. 23 in the nation and is currently undefeated at 2-0 and won the Fresno State Invite this season.

Lastly, the UCLA football team is ranked No. 23 in the AP poll as the Bruins are 5-2 overall and playing to compete for the opportunity to possibly play in the Pac-12 Championship game this season.
