    ANNUAL REPORT – INTRODUCTION Dear Bruins, Our department enjoyed an exciting and memorable year both on and off the field of competition in 2016- 17. Ten of our athletic teams finished among the Top 10, nationally. Of even greater significance, 126 of our student-athletes earned their degrees from this university in June and officially embarked upon the next chapter of their lives. Throughout the 2016-17 academic year, student- athletes earned Director’s Honor Roll accolades (3.0 GPA or higher) more than 980 times. In addition, our Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and Academic Progress Report (APR) numbers remained high across the board and among the best in the nation. UCLA’s overall GSR of 86% stands two percentage points higher than the national average of 84%. Our football team compiled the second-highest GSR among Pac-12 schools with 88% (the national average for FBS schools is 74%). In addition, six of our teams – men’s water polo, women’s basketball, women’s golf, softball, women’s tennis and women’s volleyball – had a GSR of 100 percent. Sixteen of our 20 sports programs had a GSR of 80 percent or higher. I’ve said it before and I’ll say As a department, we always pride ourselves on team practice facilities for our football, men’s basketball it again – our student-athletes not only meet these accomplishments, but it’s absolutely worth noting and women’s basketball teams, and I know that the expectations, but they almost always exceed them. It’s several outstanding individual efforts by our hard- coaches and student-athletes of these teams are a testament to their work ethic and to the support they working student-athletes.

  • Big League Vets Who Passed Away in 2014
    In this issue of the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter, we’re looking back on the major league veterans we lost in 2014. In total, 23 big leaguers with World War II service passed away last year, including Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner. The number of World War II vets still living is less than 100, and before we know it, there will be none to talk about their military service. As we approach that time, I am becoming more aware of the important role played by the Baseball in Wartime website and newsletter. The memories and sacrifices of these unsung heroes will always be preserved through Baseball in Wartime and, while I may never be able to provide the complete story of wartime baseball as I would like (due to lack of availability of complete records), I will ensure that every detail I am able to track down will be included on the site. In the meantime, please enjoy this newsletter. Another one will be on its way to you in March! Big League Vets Who Passed Away in 2014 Vern Benson (US Army – Europe) Al Cihocki (US Coast Guard – USA) Benson signed with the Cihocki played with Batavia in the Philadelphia Athletics in 1943 and Class D PONY league before made two pinch hit serving with the Coast Guard at appearances that season.

    ANNUAL REPORT – INTRODUCTION Dear Bruins, Our athletic department began the 2018-19 school year with the grand opening of Wallis Annenberg Stadium on Aug. 17, 2018, as the women’s soccer team earned win No. 1 of the season for the Bruins. Since then, we collected 353 more wins in all competitions for a final head-to-head record of 354-125-2, compiling a 74% win percentage across all our sports. To put that number in context, the Dodgers set an L.A. franchise record for wins in 2017, when their 104 victories equated to a 64% win percentage. Along the way, we had more special moments than I can list on this page, but it’s only appropriate to start with national championships for the beach volleyball and softball programs. These two teams reached the peak of competitive greatness in 2019, and we could not be more proud of Stein, Jenny, Kelly, Kirk, Lisa, the student-athletes, and the supporting staffs for these accomplishments. While not every team could end their season with a victory, congratulations are also in order for the gymnastics, men’s water polo and women’s water polo night of the year better captures our purpose. Earlier Frankie Amaya was the top selection in the MLS Draft, teams for their Top 3 finishes. In addition, our women’s in the school year, we announced a department-wide marking the sixth time in which a Bruin went first soccer and women’s tennis teams had runs to the Elite Graduation Success Rate of 90% for the first time in overall.
