UCSD Women's Soccer Faces Postseason Debut Against Northridge or Fullerton

By Austin Reed ·
UC San Diego women’s soccer will compete in its first postseason match on Saturday, Nov. 7, at 7:30 p.m. at Triton Soccer Stadium. The Tritons, who finished the regular season with a 11-3-5 record, face the winner of the semifinals between Cal State Northridge and Cal State Fullerton. This marks the first time the program has advanced to conference championship play.
UCSD earned the No. 2 seed in the Big West Conference standings with a 7-1-3 record in conference games. The No. 3 seed, Cal State Northridge, holds a 6-8-6 overall record and a 4-4-3 conference mark. The No. 6 seed, Cal State Fullerton, is 10-3-6 overall and 7-1-3 in conference play. The Tritons will play the victor of that matchup in the first round.
The team started the 2026 season with a 2-0 loss to San Diego State on Aug. 12. Since that opening game, UCSD has recorded draws against UC Santa Barbara and Utah Valley, the current Big West leader. On Oct. 21, the Tritons began a four-game winning streak, which is the longest in program history at the Division I level.
A victory on Saturday would advance UCSD to the championship final, where it would compete for its first-ever conference title. The team has previously missed postseason opportunities, making this the first test of its ability to perform under the pressure of elimination rounds.
