Stadium[edit]
The Bruins played their home games on the Frank Marshall Field of Drake Stadium on campus until 2017. The stadium is named in honor of Elvin C. "Ducky" Drake, UCLA's longtime trainer and former student athlete. Film producer Marshall graduated from UCLA.
In 2018, the Bruins moved to the soccer-specific stadium, Wallis Annenberg Stadium, along with the UCLA Bruins men's soccer program. On September 23, 2022, a capacity crowd of 2,237 saw the women's team defeating Cal 4–2 at Annenberg Stadium.
