Men's Soccer Opens Fall Campaign With Pair of Exhibitions

LOS ANGELES – The UCLA men's soccer team kicks off its fall 2021 campaign this week, hosting a pair of Central Coast schools for exhibitions at Wallis Annenberg Stadium.

The Bruins open the season on Monday against Westmont at 7:30 p.m., then welcome Big West-member Cal Poly for a Saturday night contest at 7:30 p.m. Admission will be free for both games. Live stats and video/audio streams will not be available.

Following this week's exhibitions, UCLA opens the regular season by hosting Lipscomb on Thursday, Aug. 26.

The 2021 Bruins feature a strong stable of returners, headlined by All-Pac-12 defenders Ahmed Longmire and Tommy Silva. Of the dozen UCLA players who recorded a point during the spring season, all but one return. In addition, the Bruins brought in the No. 4 recruiting class in the country (per TopDrawerSoccer).

Events at Wallis Annenberg Stadium this fall will allow for full seating capacity. Single-game and season tickets are now available on UCLABruins.com, and can be purchased HERE.
