UCSB Alumni

From Harder Stadium to the World Stage! ⚽

We're proud to see our very own alum Michael Boxall taking the field at the World Cup TODAY. A Gaucho record holder and 2010 Big West Champion, Boxall is the second Gaucho Men's Soccer alumnus selected to play for the All Whites at a World Cup, joining Tony Lochhead, who started all three games for New Zealand at the 2010 tournament. Go Gauchos!
