Men's Soccer - Bruins Win OT Thriller to Book a Ticket to the 2011 College Cup

How about some good news for a change?
Sophomore Reed Williams picked a great time to score his first goal of the season, netting the game winning goal just a few minutes into the second OT period to beat Louisville 1 - 0 and send the Bruins to the 2011 College Cup in Birmingham Alabama where they will face the University of North Carolina!
As usual, the Bruin defense was stingy netting their 8th consecutive shutout and 12th on the year running their overall record to 18-4-1.
Guess the third time was the charm for the Bruins in Kentucky!
Here's a pretty good match recap: http://www.ncaa.com/news/soccer-men/article/2011-12-03/ucla-wins-double-overtime-thriller

By the virtue of beating San Diego State this past weekend, the Bruins ran their Conference record to 10-0-0 on the season and 15-4-1 on the year.
Another statistic of note - the Bruins have allowed but two goals in conference play shutting out the last five conference opponents they have faced!
Also, "Old Reliable" in Chandler Hoffman scored his 15th goal of the season, the most by a Bruin player since McKinley Tennyson back in 2000.
The Bruins await the NCAA tournament selection process which occurs today at 1:30 PM Pacific.

Also - missed this last week, but Sophomore Joe Sofia, another UCLA defender was named PAC 12 Player of the Week after the Bruin wins over U-Dub and Oregon State!

Hoffman Named National Soccer Player of the Week by College Soccer News
Thought this site could use a little good news.....
Chandler's 3 goal performance Friday over UCSB makes him a worthy recipient of this honor!
Men's Soccer - Bellweather Game Tomorrow Night vs. UCSB
IMHO - Tomorrow night's match vs. the Gaucho's may very well define the Bruin team's season. Either the team turns the corner on the season or limps into what appears to be a pretty weak PAC 12 conference this year. A conference title isn't a forgone conclusion if the team's performance thus far this year is any indicator.
I was so mad witnessing the LMU match I bit my blogging tongue. But this author's assessment of the Bruin's play Sunday vs. LMU has me extremely worried as I saw pretty much the same thing.
Hope to see a few (well...more than a few!!) of you out there tomorrow night. Rest assured, there will be a lot of "Loco's from Santa Barbara in attendance.

Orange County BlueStar and UCLA Bruin Chandler Hoffman continues on his tear with 5 points on the day.... converting a PK, assisting on fellow Bruin Joe Sofia's goal and scoring yet another goal, in the run of play.
Goal Recap:
Hoffman - 2
Monge - 1
Sofia - 1
I believe Hoffman now leads the entire PDL in points (29) and goals (12) at this point in the season.
