HAPPY ANNIVERSARY UCLA is celebrating a pair of anniversaries this season as it is the 15th anniversary of its 2002 national championship and the 20th anniversary of its 1997 national title run. · On Dec. 15, 2002 in Dallas, Texas, Aaron Lopez would one-time a free kick from Ryan Futagaki in to the back of the net with just 1:02 remaining on the clock for the match’s lone goal. Lopez was named the MVP of the College Cup, while teammates Zach Wells, who earned a shutout in the title game, Adolfo Gregorio, Matt Taylor and Scot Thompson received All-Tournament acclaim. First-year head coach Tom Fitzgerald became just the second coach in NCAA soccer history to win a Division I national title in his first season with the program. · Facing Virginia in their home state, the Bruins picked up their third NCAA national championship on Dec. 14, 1997. Despite several key injuries throughout the season and the postseason run, head coach Sigi Schmid devised a more defensive, counterattacking style that frustrated the Cavaliers the entire game. In the 80th minute UCLA capitalized on an error as Martin Bruno found Offensive MVP Seth George who beat the keeper one-on-one for the go-ahead score. George would then score two minutes later to secure the title for the Bruins.

Jorge Salcedo’s Career Records vs. NCAA D-I Opponents

NOTES ON UCLA HEAD COACH JORGE SALCEDO• Former UCLA All-American Jorge Salcedo is in his 14th season as head coach for the Bruins, making him the second-longest tenured men’s soccer head coach in UCLA history. In 13 previous seasons, Salcedo has led the Bruins to an overall record of 165-70-41.

• A product of UCLA’s strong soccer tradition, Salcedo has maintained the Bruins’ standard for success, winning six conference titles and guiding his team to NCAA Tournament appearances in each of his 13 seasons. Salcedo has signed the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation six times (2015, 2014, 2013, 2010, 2006 and 2004), and those players have produced results, advancing all the way to the NCAA Championship game in the 2006 and 2014 seasons, to the College Cup Semifinals in 2011 and to the quarterfinals in 2009 and 2010. Over the last nine seasons, Salcedo’s teams have earned four Pac-12 titles and lost just 17 conference games (59-17-14 record). Salcedo’s teams have also lost only 14 games away from home in the last six seasons, going 34-14-9 in their last 57 road or neutral site matches.

• Since taking over the program in 2004, Salcedo has produced 37 Major League Soccer Draft Picks, including 19 first-round selections. Of those 19 first-round selections, 12 were taken within the top-10 picks, including Marvell Wynne (2006), Chance Myers (2008) and Abu Danladi (2017) who were each selected first overall. Overall, Salcedo has tutored 17 players who are currently playing in the professional ranks as of 2017.

• In 2016, Salcedo guided UCLA to the NCAA Tournament for the 34th consecutive year. The Bruins advanced to the second round before falling to No. 4 seed Louisville, 2-1, in overtime. UCLA placed eight players on the All-Pac-12 team, including Pac-12 Co-Player of the Year, Jose Hernandez, and one other first-team member in Jackson Yueill. Hernandez was also named a NSCAA All-America selection.

• The Cerritos, Calif. native had an illustrious career at UCLA from 1990-93. Salcedo was a four-year starter, playing 74 games and tallying six goals and seven assists for 19 points. As a freshman, he scored the decisive penalty kick in the shootout during the 1990 NCAA Championship game to give UCLA its second national title. In 1993 as a senior, he earned NSCAA first-team All-America honors. He prepped at Cerritos HS, where he earned two Parade All-America honors.

• Salcedo played for five years in Major League Soccer (MLS). In his first season in the league, he was a starter for the Los Angeles Galaxy and helped take his team to the MLS Championship game. He also played for Chicago, where he served as team co-captain, Columbus and Tampa Bay before returning to the Galaxy in 1999. Prior to his MLS career, he played with the LA Salsa in the APSL and then for F.C. Morelia of the Mexican First Division. Salcedo was also a member of the U.S. National Team program, earning three caps with the full national team and captaining the U-17 team at the 1989 World Youth Championships and the U-20 team at the 1990 CONCACAF Tournament.

• Salcedo has had extensive ties to the Bruin program for many years. He graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and was part of three of the Bruins’ four NCAA Championship teams. He was a ball boy for UCLA during its first championship year in 1985, scored the game-winning penalty kick in the 1990 Championship game and was an assistant coach for the 2002 squad. In addition, his father Hugo was a UCLA assistant coach from 1978-79 and member of the 1972 U.S. Olympic team, and he also served as the FIFA Chairman of the 2014 World Cup. Jorge’s brother Eddie was a UCLA letterwinner in 1995. He earned NSCAA first-team All-America honors. He prepped at Cerritos HS, where he earned two Parade All-America honors.
