Summary From WCLL.com:

The USC Trojans made their way across town to take-on their bitter rivals, the UCLA Bruins, yesterday evening for the first night game in UCLA lacrosse history. Each team came out hard in the first quarter and both teams' defenses set the pace early for what would be a primarily defensive game. UCLA struck first to take a 1-0 lead late in the first quarter, but the USC offense shook off their initial game jitters to score 4 goals in the second quater. UCLA only managed to get 2 more goals out of the stingy Trojan defense in the second and both teams went into halftime with a score of 4-3 in favor of USC. The defensive battle continued in the third quarter as USC was only able to eek 1 more goal by a Bruin defense lead by superb goalie Spencer Fivelson and some solid longpoles in Derek and Colin Scadden. The story was the same on USC's defensive side as the Trojan defense held UCLA to 1 goal in the third to make the score 5-4, USC favor. The fight continued in the fourth quarter with intensely physical play, but USC held onto a 6-5 lead late in the fourth.

The nail in the coffin came when an errant pass resulted in a groundball on the Trojans' defensive end. Senior defenseman Brian Rothenberg picked up the groundball and pushed it upfield, put it in the offense's hands, and two passes later, Kai Sato ripped it past Fivelson to score the last goal of the game resulting in the final, 7-5, USC victory. This huge win was a tremendous team effort and the first victory against UCLA in the regular season for this year's senior class during their tenure at USC. Individual offensive standouts included Kai Sato (3g, 3a), Trent Barmby with his first collegiate hat-trick (3g), and freshman Phil Lee (1a) with numerous crucial groundballs and clears. A ton of credit goes to the defense for a superb game with great play from goalie Aaron Christman (.706 save percentage), senior co-captains Noah Bleicher and Brian Rothenberg, as well as sophomore longpole Andrew Stiegmann.

Anyone know the score from the Cal Poly vs. Arizona game?

Claremont falls to USC 11-10. Most controversial finish ever! Both teams played very hard, and its a shame the officials created such an awful situation. Congrats USC.

Talked to a buddy and he said it was something like 8-6 or 8-5 in favor of Zona. Supposively tied at 3 after the third, but zona came out quick scoring fast in the fourth. That could all be way off, but I do know zona won and it was close.

St mary's won 11-9. It was a great game by both teams, and I got my 2nd assist (and sooo close to my third) of the year as goalie. UCLA played a great game and it was nice to see a few guys I'd played with in years past.
