UCSB Mens Soccer vs. UCLA Bruins (NCAA Tournament, Sweet 16)
A banner year ended for the Gauchos Sunday night as our favorite footballers from Santa Barbara fell to the UCLA Bruins 2-1.
UCSB got on the board first though when David Walker struck a beautiful ball past the keeper for the first goal of the game, but the third for Walker in this NCAA Tournament.
Only four minutes later did UCLA get the equalizer when Fernando Monge put the rebound in for the goal. The score was now tied 1-1.
UCLA got the game winning goal in the 36th minute when Ryan Hollingshead scorched a shot past the usually goal free Sam Hayden for the lead.
The second half consisted of numerous yellow cards and shots on goals, but the Gauchos couldn't find the tying goal.
UCLA continues their NCAA run when they take on Wake Forest in the Elite 8.
The Gauchos had a great year and we look forward to 2010!!!!

UCSB Mens Basketball vs. USF Dons
Orlando Johnson went for 25 points and grabbed 9 rebounds in the Gauchos 76-65 victory over San Francisco.
James Nunnally, who scored 20 points, opened the game with back to back threes. Nunnally scored 12 of those 20 in the first half. Nunnally and Orlando combined for 59% of the points last night.
Another thing that was good for the Gauchos was PG Justin Joyners return. He sat out all of last year with injury and missed the first two games with an ankle sprain. He only played 2 minutes but should see lots more action in the next few games.
San Francisco got it close after the Gauchos early run by getting the halftime score to 33-28.
Then Nunnally opened the half with a jumper and the lead for the rest of the game stayed above 4 points.
Dior Lowhorn led the Dons with 26 points.
The Gauchos go on the road for one game when they take on Loyola Marymount on Saturday.
Go Gauchos!
