San Diego, CA – The West Coast Conference (WCC) has officially unveiled its preseason honors for the upcoming 2025 women’s soccer season. The announcement, made on August 7, 2025, highlights exceptional players and teams in anticipation of a competitive season ahead.
The 2025 women’s soccer season promises to be exciting, with the overall conference schedule having been released earlier on May 19, 2025. Notably, the first match for women’s soccer will see teams from the WCC face off against UC Irvine on August 21, 2025, at 7 PM, which will be available for viewing on ESPN+.
The preseason honors are part of the WCC’s ongoing commitment to recognize and celebrate outstanding achievements in women’s soccer, showcasing the talent within the conference. This annual event is significant for the teams and institutions involved, as it not only highlights individual players but also sets the stage for how the teams may perform in the season to come.
The conference has previously recognized academic excellence alongside athletic performance. In November 2024, the WCC announced the 2024 Women’s Soccer All-Academic Team, which acknowledged players who excelled in both their sport and academics. This blend of academic and athletic honor showcases the commitment of student-athletes to achieving success both on and off the field.

The University of San Diego, located at 5998 Alcala Park, San Diego, CA 92110, plays a vital role in the WCC landscape. As a member institution, it contributes significantly to the competitive spirit and overall success of the conference. The athletics department plays a key role in promoting the events and athletes, although it has been noted that the use of ad-blocking software may affect content delivery on their website.
This current announcement and the upcoming season align with the ongoing affiliation between the Mountain West Conference and the West Coast Conference, aiming to enhance the profile of women’s soccer in the region. As athletic programs continue to grow and develop, the recognition of both player achievements and team successes remains a critical aspect of fostering talent and excellence.
As the WCC prepares for the 2025 season, both fans and teams alike are eager to see how the honors will translate into performance on the field. With the stage set, anticipation builds as the first match approaches, marking the beginning of a potentially thrilling season in women’s soccer.
