Coming off a 1-0 win against No. 16 UC Berkeley UCLA women’s soccer prepares to face the final challenge of this year’s regular season against reigning national champions USC.
The two teams have had somewhat parallel seasons. They are both top ten teams who have been unable to crack the top tier. They are also conference rivals with embarrassing losses (UCLA’s to No. 48 Washington State, USC’s to No. 85 Kansas), recent 1-0 wins over No. 16 UC Berkeley and, of course, losses to No. 1 Stanford.
Where: Drake Stadium, Los Angeles, CA
Before we get to my prediction here are four points to consider when viewing this game.
