UC Santa Barbara teams are preparing for a busy week across several sports. The swim team is set to face BYU before competing in the MPSF Open Water Championships, following a dual meet against Saint Mary’s in which the Gauchos won multiple events. Women’s soccer returns home for conference matches against UC Irvine and UC San Diego after a 5-0 loss ended its nine-match unbeaten streak; the Gauchos are seeking to maintain an 11-match home unbeaten run. Men’s soccer takes momentum from a 3-1 rivalry win over Cal Poly into road games against Gonzaga and Cal State Fullerton. Men’s golf is competing in the Visit Stockton Pacific Invitational after finishing 11th at its previous tournament, with two Gauchos placing in the top 11 individually.
