UCLA (10-4-6) hosts Cal Poly Friday (10-5-6) at 7 p.m. Friday at Drake Stadium with the winner playing 14th-seeded UC Irvine (14-1-6) on Tuesday.

Chatted with former Galaxy Coach Sigi Schmid on Sunday who took pains to point out this is the Anteaters (!) first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. His son, Kyle, is on the team, while another son, Kurt, is an assistant coach. More with Sigi in Tuesday’s column.
