## Rivalry
### History

UCLA began their soccer program in the late 1930s, while UC Santa Barbara began their soccer program in the mid 1960s. The first meeting between the two sides was in 1967, where UCLA posted a 3–1 victory over UCSB. UCLA would win every encounter between the two sides until 1982, when UCSB registered its first win against UCLA.
For much of the rivalry until the 21st century, the series was heavily lopsided in favor of UCLA. In 2006, the series became more intense when the two sides met in St. Louis for the 2006 NCAA Championship Game, in which UCSB emerged victorious. Since then, the rivalry has been more evenly split between the two sides.
