The UC Santa Barbara Gauchos are the athletic teams that represent the University of California, Santa Barbara. Most of UC Santa Barbara's teams compete in the Big West Conference, but Men's Water Polo, Men's Volleyball, and Women's Swimming and Diving compete in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation while Men's Swimming and Diving competes in the Pac-12 Conference.
UCSB has won two NCAA National Championships for 1979 Men's Water Polo and 2006 Men's Soccer.
The mascot of UCSB is the Gaucho (named after Douglas Fairbanks' role in the eponymous film The Gaucho), while the school colors are "Pacific Blue" (Pantone 286) and "Gaucho Gold" (Pantone 130), with the occasional accent of "Navy Blue" (Pantone 275). In 2009, the program under athletic director Mark Massari underwent a transformation, giving UCSB a new brand and visual identity. As a result, the UCSB athletic program released new logos, different colors, and a unified theme across all teams. For athletic purposes, the school is known only as "UC Santa Barbara" or "UCSB".
UCSB currently fields a varsity team in 10 men's sports and 10 women's sports:
Men's sports

In 2004, the UCSB men's soccer team advanced to the College Cup. It routed Duke in the semifinals 5-0, but lost in the championship match to Indiana on penalties
