Background

The 2001 UCLA team was coached by Todd Saldana, who finished the 2001 season with a 12-7-4 overall record. Saldana was forced to resign by the university after it was discovered that he had yet to complete his undergraduate degree. Fitzgerald, a former coach of Major League Soccer's Columbus Crew was hired to coach the program in February 2002.{{cite web|last1=Trecker|first1=Jamie|title=PLUS: SOCCER; Canadian Goalie Comes Up Short|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/02/01/sports/plus-soccer-canadian-goalie-comes-up-short.html?pagewanted=1|website=The New York Times|publisher=NYTimes.com|accessdate=March 14, 2017|date=February 1, 2002}}
