CALIFORNIA HIGHLANDERS WOMEN'S SOCCER

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

UC Riverside's women's soccer program represents one of the youngest Division I institutions in California, with the university itself established in 1954 and now serving 26,809 students across its Riverside campus. Competing in the Big West Conference during the fall season, the Highlanders compete at a home venue while managing the athletic demands of a mid-size public research university. The program operates within UC Riverside's broader athletic structure, which has grown significantly since the institution's founding nearly seven decades ago.

The Highlanders participate in one of college soccer's most competitive regional conferences, facing opponents across the western United States in Big West play. UC Riverside women's soccer draws from a student body of over 26,800, providing a substantial recruiting base within the Inland Empire region. The program's operations reflect the university's continued investment in NCAA Division I athletics, with female student-athletes balancing rigorous academic schedules at a research-focused institution while competing at the highest collegiate level.
