Alyssa Beckerman former UCLA gymnast

Alyssa Beckerman, a member of two NCAA championship-winning teams in 2001 and 2003, was dismissed from the UCLA gymnastics team earlier this month. An alternate for the 2000 U.S. Olympic team, the senior has forfeited her athletic scholarship but is currently still attending UCLA. A spokesperson for the athletic department said it was a coach’s decision. Beckerman was reached via cellular phone but declined to comment on the matter. Head coach Valorie Kondos Field could not be reached for comment.

MEN’S GOLF: The Bruins are currently fourth in the standings at the Opus Northwest Husky Invitational. Brigham Young University leads the pack, shooting a team score of four over par. Pac-10 rivals Washington and California are in second and third place, respectively. UCLA is seven shots back. Both Travis Johnson and John Merrick shot even for the course, tied with four others for sixth place individually. John Poucher and Steve Conway both shot two over par, tying for 20th place.

WOMEN’S SOCCER: The defending national champion No. 8 Portland Pilots (7-2) topped the No. 13 Washington Huskies (5-2-2) 1-0 this past Friday. Wanda Rozwadowska scored the only goal of the game for the Pilots. It was the fifth consecutive victory over the Huskies for Portland. • No. 23 USC Trojans (4-3-3) played Loyola Marymount (5-2-3), resulting in a scoreless tie at LMU. USC outshot LMU 15-9 but could not push a goal across. • No. 21 Stanford Cardinal (5-3-1) beat St. Mary’s in double overtime 1-0 Saturday. Junior Natalie Sanderson scored the lone goal. • No. 12 California Bears (4-1-3) struggled against Colorado College on Sunday, winning 1-0.
