The Bruins will close the week on Sunday, Sept. 28 with a 1 p.m. match against Maryland (6-4-0, 2-1-0) that will air on Big Ten Plus.ย
SCOUTING THE SCARLET KNIGHTS
Rutgers enters the week with a 3-1-4 record and is coming off a 2-0 home victory over Indiana. Nata Ramirez leads the team in scoring with three goals and eight points. Two of her three goals have been game-winners. Goalkeeper Olivia Bodmer holds a 0.57 goals against average with four shutouts. ย ย ย ย ย ย
THE SERIES WITH RUTGERS
UCLA has not allowed a goal against Rutgers in three games played. The Bruins won last year's Big Ten Championship, 5-0, setting a championship game record in goals scored. Val Vargas scored the game-winning goal in the seventh minute, Jordan Geis scored from about 45 yards out in the dying seconds of the first half, and Lily Boyden recorded her first goal as a Bruin in the 69th minute. The other two matchups between UCLA and Rutgers came in 2011 in Los Angeles, a 1-0 UCLA win, and in 1997 at Rutgers, a 2-0 Bruin victory. ย ย ย ย ย ย ย
SCOUTING THE TERRAPINS
Maryland enters the week on a two-game winning streak, beating Indiana and Purdue at home with identical 2-1 scores. Kelsey Smith leads the team in scoring with four goals and 10 points. Ava Morales is close behind with three goals and eight points. Goalkeeper Faith Luckey has played every minute for the Terrapins and has a 1.31 goals against average with three shutouts.
THE SERIES WITH MARYLAND
UCLA is 3-1 all-time against Maryland and won the last matchup in 2014, 3-0, in Los Angeles. The other three matches in the series have been neutral site contests, with UCLA winning in 2006 (3-0 at Penn State) and 1999 (1-0 at USC) and Maryland taking the 2004 matchup (2-1 at Virginia). ย ย ย ย ย ย ย
LAST TIME OUT
A third-minute goal by Val Vargas was all No. 4 UCLA needed in a wet 1-0 victory at Michigan on Sunday. Vargas answered the early wake-up call for the Bruins (6-2-1, 2-0-1 in the Big Ten), scoring her first goal of the season just 2:44 into the match. The play started from a goal kick by Daphne Nakfoor that found Lexi Wright up the middle. Wright one-touched it to Kara Croone, who hit a streaking Vargas with a through ball. Vargas raced past the defense and fired from the back of the box for the goal. The Bruin defense held Michigan to just three shots in the contest while picking up their sixth shutout of the season. Nakfoor and Mariangela Medina teamed up for their third combined shutout. Nakfoor had one save in the first half, a diving stop of an Adi Walick rocket in the 24th minute. Medina faced just one shot in the second half and did not have to make a save.ย
IN THE RANKINGS
UCLA remained ranked No. 4 in the United Soccer Coaches and Top Drawer Soccer polls. Four of the nine teams the Bruins have played this year are ranked in the Top 20 of the coaches' poll - No. 3 Stanford, No. 5 Tennessee, No. 16 BYU, and No. 17 Georgia. ย ย

Freshman goalkeeper Daphne Nakfoor has allowed just three goals and holds a 0.40 goals against average with three solo and three shared shutouts. Mariangela Medina also has three shared shutouts and has not allowed a goal in three halves against Long Beach State, Oregon and Michigan. ย ย ย

Six others have one goal each - Oruha Hayashi, Kara Croone, Lexi Wright, Lily Boyden, Payten Cooper and Val Vargas. Two more players are on the stat sheet with one assist each - Leena Powell and Grace Shank. ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย
FOURS UP FOR NAKFOOR
UCLA freshman goalkeeper Daphne Nakfoor has started every game in goal for the Bruins this season and became the first true freshman to start in goal on opening day for UCLA since Teagan Micah in 2016. Nakfoor ranks 18th nationally and third in the Big Ten with a goals against average of 0.40, allowing just three goals this season. She has three solo and three shared shutouts.

ย
COMEBACK KIDS

Winn leads the team with three goals, six points and two game-winning goals. Egizii is right behind with two goals and five points, and Wright has one goal and one assist.ย
Egizii, who scored two goals in three games in 2024 before getting injured during game four of the season, has a goal or assist in three of the Bruins' last five games. She scored her first goal of the year against Portland on Sept. 4, assisted on the game-winner against Stanford on Sept. 7 and then scored the game-winner against Oregon on Sept. 13. Winn has scored a goal in two of the last four games, knocking in the game-winning goal against Stanford and scoring a goal against Oregon.

IMPACT TRANSFERSย
UCLA welcomed two experienced transfers to the squad in 2025 - defender Jennie Immethun and forward Oruha Hayashi. Immethun comes to UCLA from TCU, where she earned second-team All-Big 12 honors in 2024. She started 20 games in 2024 while helping the Big 12 champions record seven shutouts, and in 2023, she started in 10 games. Oruha joined the Bruins after two years at Iowa Western, where she twice won the United Soccer Coaches Player of the Year for Junior College Division 1. Oruha, who scored 25 goals in 2024 and 19 in 2023, was selected the 2024-25 Betty Jo Graber NJCAA Female Student-Athlete of the Year. Both have already made big impacts on their new team, as Immethun was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week after helping the Bruins record a shutout in the season opener. She has played in every minute of every game for UCLA this year and has two goal line saves. Hayashi has played in every game and has six starts. She scored a goal in the Bruins' exhibition win over LMU and netted her first official goal as a Bruin in the 2-0 win over Long Beach State and her first assist on UCLA's final goal in the 2-0 win over Stanford. She added another assist on the game-tying goal at Michigan State. ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย
WELCOME FRESHMENย
The Bruins brought in a dynamic recruiting class, highlighted by U.S. Youth National Team players Sofia Atehortua, Meila Brewer, Cassidy Doogan, Daphne Nakfoor, Leena Powell and Grace Shank, and Egyptian Youth National Team player Laila Edris. Powell played in the 2025 U-20 Concacaf Championships, and Brewer helped lead the U-17s to the 4 Nations Tournament title this summer. Also joining UCLA in 2025 are freshmen Payten Cooper, Jordyn Dunn, Siena Meyer and Julia Molnar.
