I have not calibrated the VBelo model for Canadian teams yet so I would take this projection with an extra large gain of salt.
It is matches like this that make me not trust the NCAA website.
This is part of the North American Challenge but there is some conflicting information here on whether this match counts towards UCSD’s record or not. UCSD (and the NCAA website) appear to show this as a regular match. Long Beach, on the other hand, lists all matches in the North American Challenge as exhibition. As of publishing, I am leaning towards “this counts”.
