Β
Preseason Pub
β’ The Anteaters were voted the favorites to win the Big West Conference in 2018 edging out a projected top four of Long Beach State, Cal State Fullerton, and CSUN
β’ UC Irvine was 1 of 2 programs (UC Riverside) without a player voted on the Preseason All-Big West squad
β’ UC Irvine will host the 2018 Big West Tournament after claiming the 2017 regular season title. It will be the fourth time the Big West Tournament has come to UCI
β’ The 'Eaters return two from the 2017 All-Big West squad - forwardΒ Claire GrouwinkelΒ earned All-Freshman Team honors whileΒ Maddie NewsomΒ scored Honorable Mention for the second straight season
β’ Head CoachΒ Scott JuniperΒ returns after earning his second Big West Coach of the Year honor
Β
2017-18 Highlights
β’ UC Irvine claimed its third Big West regular season title joining the 2010 and 2011 squads
β’ Last season marked the eighth time in 11 seasons under head coachΒ Scott JuniperΒ that the Anteaters have finished with a winning record and seventh time with at least 10 wins
β’ The Anteaters were responsible for the Big West's Offensive Player of the Year (Noel Baham) and Midfielder of the Year (Kiana Palacios)
β’ The 'Eaters finished as the conference leaders in assists (32) and shutouts (10) and a tie for the least amount of goals allowed (17) while finishing just behind in second for goals, GAA, and corner kicks
β’ Coach Juniper became the program's winningest head coach when he won his 114th career match over Oregon, 1-0
Count It
UCI played an exhibition match against Long Beach State at Championship Soccer Stadium in the OC Great Park. After three 30-minute periods, the Anteaters came through with the 1-0 victory on aΒ Claire GrouwinkelΒ goal in the second period. There were 32 Anteaters that made an appearance in the match including 12 freshmen and three different goalkeepers that preserved the shutout. All-time under coach Juniper, UCI is now 2-0-4 in exhibition matches
Β
Top of the Heap
Head CoachΒ Scott JuniperΒ enters as the team's head coach for his 12th season. He overtook the program's lead in head coaching wins last season, and enters 2018 with 121 to show for it. Under Juniper, the 'Eaters have won three Big West regular season titles, reached the NCAA Tournament twice, had eight winning seasons, and won as many as 10 games seven times.
Triumphant Returns
The Anteaters get a big boost in key areas by the returns of seniorsΒ Alex KarlowitschΒ andΒ Jonnae Joseph. KarlowitschΒ sat our 2017 with an injury, but the former All-Big West player as a freshman is back to command the midfielder. Joseph was cut down with an injury before conference play in 2017 missing over half the season. Her tenacity along the wing and senior leadership will fuel each third for the Anteaters
What does the Future Hold?
Coach Juniper has brought in 15 newcomers to the squad this season, 13 of which are freshman.Β Alex JaquezΒ andΒ Scarlett CamberosΒ have risen through the ranks quickly looking to earn some minutes as forwards. Midfielders earning some looks have beenΒ Amber HuffΒ along with a slew of second-year Anteaters. Defensively, more of the same with a lot of second-year talent ready to make the jump along with the freshman presence ofΒ Piper Wurth.Β Maddie Newsom'sΒ grip on the keeper spot is formidable, but the competition for second-in-line is white-hot between seniorΒ Idalis Gonzalez, third-yearΒ Madi Puliafico, and freshmanΒ Glo Hinojosa.
Defending the Crown
The stout reminder of UCI's regular season glory from a year ago is seen by the returning presence on the backline ofΒ Aleah Kelley,Β Reema Bzeih, andΒ Maddie Newsom. Kelley led the team in minutes a year ago while BzeihΒ added to her breakout sophomore season with five more assists, andΒ Maddie NewsomΒ continues to be the class of the Big West in net posting eight shutouts in each of her first two seasons
She'll Be Back
Shelby LeeΒ has made a lot of noise on and off the field over the last 12 months. She came into her own as a junior playing all 20 matches and scoring her first three goals in addition to assist on a pair. She also has held the title of NCAA Regional SAAC representative for a year now as head of the Big West. She's made a lot of efforts to organize student-athlete life managing time between academic and athletic priorities for all student-athletes, and looks to make a strong final impression all-around in her senior campaign
What's Missing?
The Anteaters graduate their two top scorers from a year ago inΒ Kiana PalaciosΒ andΒ Noel Baham, the Big West Midfielder and Big West Offensive Player of the Year, respectively. Each scored six goals and accounted for three game-winners and 11 assists between them. The attacking presence will be dotted with veterans pieces such as juniorsΒ Lili Andino,Β Jessica Miclat,Β Carley Brown, andΒ Claire Grouwinkel
Opposing Views
The Anteater non-conference schedule is as beefy as ever. The United Soccer Coaches rankings were unveiled Tuesday, and from it two Anteater opponents were issued top-25 status starting with UCI's season-opening guest, USC, at No. 12. Pepperdine starts the year at No. 18 as the 'Eaters will travel to them later in September. One other opponent was receiving votes landing it just outside the top 25 in Arizona, and that could change after the first weekend of play.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β
