16 that I mentioned isn’t a NCAA rule. It’s a Pac-12 Covid protocol rule that requires that number on the day of the game to have in order to play a game

First half very one sided. Second half a little more even, but UCLA dominated overall.

Stats looked even. Clearly UCLA was able to convert. Stats usually tell the story of the game.
Oregon topped Gonzaga but my impression was Gonzaga was better (9 shots to 5) but lost the game on a lucky set piece with 3 m left.

Gee that’s a ground breaking thought.
UCLA was up 3-0 at half. They did not need to attack with urgency in the second half. Most of Pepperdine's shots came late in the second half. UCLA was subbing then too.
To be fair, UCLA scored a couple early goals even though they were not necessarily dominating at that point. But, those early goals set the tone for the rest of the game.

If you go back and look at the subs and the timing of them the 2nd half was not much different than the first half. There were 8 subs in the 2nd half compared to 4 in the first half but 2 of those subs were putting in a starter for another starter so the quality of play should not be affected. Until the 74th min the sub were basically the same, then came the two starters that subbed in for two starters. The only difference were the two subs at the 79 and 80 min. Maybe UCLA just backed off on the pressure because they were up 3-0 but if that’s the case that is not a good approach
I see that the Freshman RT got a goal. My dd had so much fun playing with her in HS and scrimmaging against her and against this years #2 pick, Trinity R. As a Father, I beam with joy & pride knowing my dd battled these greats. It's only been 12 months now since my dd has played a real soccer game in Socal. I saw a big adult pick up game in Laguna Niguel yesterday, with refs i might add. I hope the kind adults who control the kids lives will let the under 18 kids play soccer some day in Socal. I really do miss watching my dd play and have fun and work hard at something she loves to do. She likes school too and is killing it with her grades. Happy Monday everyone. Go soccer!!!

A box score of doubling the other teams shots or holding the other team to less than 5 shots is dominating performance to me. Pepperdine wastheir final third plenty of times and came up empty.
Did either team have a scrimmage or game prior?
Fortunately non conference doesn’t mean a whole lot this year. Pepperdine just needs to come in 2nd in the WCC to advance.

I’d say that every game - conference or non-conference - is more meaningful this year. There are fewer games across the board AND 1/4 fewer teams that will make the tournament. 16 fewer at-large bids means we won’t see 9 PAC-12 teams in the tourney but it also means that the non-P5s will have fewer as well.
Yes they are. Great location and the IE is loaded with talent. I watched them crush LMU

This cracks me up. It's like saying that a team won by three touchdowns, all scored in the first half, then saying they weren't as dominant by citing stats. I saw TW interview, trying to explain this very same thing. Take the 3-0 home loss, give credit to the better team, and move on.
Three point swoosh bro. I did not get to see the game but 3-0 is three to zero and a nice win.

What was the score of this crushing of LMU?
I have no idea. It was at a summer game in 2019 at Great Park. CBU looked like the better team. More aggressive and played with ganas. LMU played better during the fall season and looked better then they did in summer. I was just baiting LMU fan or parent into some poking. It was for fun. My old pal from the old forum days dd is going to LMU, so I root for them as well as CSUF. I love the Titans. I also root for CBU. My old college coach coached at CBU and my pals dd dances at the school. They have awesome potential. Building a soccer stadium. I see a mid major winning the Cup in the next 5 years.

OK settle down, they are good but not that good
It sure helped them to pickup a few solid transfers, one of which is from the WCC. I suspect they will try to move to the WCC conference at some time in the future if they prove themselves.
