Soccer – M

Want to keep playing competitive, high-level soccer and still have time for school and your social life? Then UCSD Club Soccer is for you!

We are a student-run Sports Club in the UC San Diego Recreation Department that competes in the West Coast Soccer Association Premier Division. The Division is divided into five Conferences: NorCal, Pacific, Coast, and SoCal (our Conference). This year we will be representing UCSD in a league with San Diego State, UC Irvine, UC Riverside, and University of San Diego.

Our recent accolades include Aztec Cup Champions, WCSA Regional Finalists, and NIRSA Open Division National Champions.

Our primary competition takes place in the Fall Quarter where our league schedule is very condensed. Winter Quarter is a little more open so we usually make a trip to Northern California along with our Women’ s Club for exhibitions with schools like UC Santa Cruz and Stanford. We also participate in a Spring League that spans Winter and Spring quarters. In the spring we host the UCSD Club Soccer Invitational with our Women’s Club.

We usually practice two to three evenings during the week with competition on the weekends. Consistent participation is expected as well as annual player fees that range from $300-500 (assistance with fees is available if need be). We tend to carry 22-25 players on our roster and like to have a mix of all years (i.e. freshmen, sophomores etc).

If all this sounds good to you, we hold try-outs during Welcome Week aka Week 0 of Fall Quarter. More information on tryouts will be posted on our website as well as on our Facebook Page (facebook.com/ucsdsoccerclub). Feel free to contact the Captains with any further questions or comments.

10/11/24 - UCSD Men’s Soccer Aztec Cup

The Cage Strikes Again – The Tritons would open up their Aztec Cup tournament facing off against UC Santa Barbara in the iconic Cage Field. Previous performances in the Cage have shown that the field makes it difficult for teams to play, so the Tritons knew it would be an ugly and luck-based game.

The game would be underway and very early the conditions of the field made it difficult for the Tritons to play their game. The Tritons were unable to play out of the back and many players struggled to find any grip on the pitch. Suddenly a ball was whipped across the box, which was cleared away by the Tritons. The Gauchos would recover the ball off an unexpected bounce and found themselves in the box, and a UCSB attacker didn’t think twice about striking the ball and found the back of the net. The Tritons would be trailing 0–1, until the Gauchos were able to convert from a corner kick off a deflected touch from UCSD, giving UCSB a 0–2 lead. The half would end 0-2, and the Tritons knew that a comeback was necessary. Read More>>

4/12-4/14/24 - UCSD title hopes thwarted as WCSA playoffs are cut short by rain

UCSD is coming into playoffs with an incredible record of being undefeated in 2024, along with two consecutive clean sheets. Although the league standings didn’t show it, UCSD was a clear favorite to win the tournament. The first game of the tournament would be against Santa Clara University who had an incredible record in their league and were actually league champions. This was well known amongst the team, so they were not underestimating Santa Clara whatsoever. This matchup would be seen as the most important game of the group and UCSD’s life in the playoffs could either be cut early or extended by the outcome of this game. Read More>>
