6th - UC Irvine won a share of its 6th Big West regular-season title in 2021, 2nd now under head coach Yossi Raz
9th - UCI's non-conference strength of schedule was the 9th-toughest nationally including four teams with national votes
26th - UCI's Saturday night match vs. UCSB was delayed three times due to lightning and postponed, rescheduled for Oct. 26th
 #1 - Coach Raz's 2019 recruiting class was ranked #1 in the nation with six on the 2021 roster and two now playing pro
2 - Agaton Pourshahidi scored 2 Big West Freshman of the Week honors after his 1st goal at Vermont and a brace vs. CSF
1,175 - UCI drew 1,175 fans in their win vs. Fullerton and look to host the stadium's fourth 1,000-fan crowd this year Saturday

 · The Anteaters started the week at UC Riverside playing one bad half leading to the loss. The Highlanders scored four times in the first half and hung on the rest of the way for the first loss to UCR since 2017.
· UC Irvine was scheduled to host UC Santa Barbara Saturday night, but the weather had other plans. Rain and lightning doused Southern California leading to three separate delays of the match before it was finally called and postponed nearly two hours after the teams were supposed to kick off at 7:00 p.m. The sides did agree on a rescheduled date - Wednesday, October 26 at Anteater Stadum.
· The Anteater scoring leader is Agaton Pourshahidi after his first career brace vs. Cal State Fullerton. He has accounted for three of UCI's 10 goals and earned Big West Freshman of the Week two times
· Luke Pruter has stood in goal as the starter the last 17 matches. He's accumulated 81 saves over his career, and in 18 career starts he's averaged 4.3 saves per match with as many as seven twice, nine, and 13 in a match at Stanford in 2021.
· Anteater seniors will be celebrated Wednesday night with Eddy Berumen, Oscar Cervantes, Ricardo Ibarra, Kwabena Boateng, Robert Mejia, and Ashish Chattha
· Around the Anteaters, not a ton of change happened on Saturday. UCI's six points have them tied for seventh place joined by Cal Poly and now Sacramento State. UCSD won pushing them three points ahead of UCI. The five programs at the top are all within a point with just three matches to go to UCI's four
· The Anteaters are projected to get on the field next on Wednesday, October 19 welcoming in CSU Bakersfield. The Roadrunners sit at bottom of the Big West with just one point in six matches, ironically taking it from the conference leader UCSB on a draw. Their two wins on the year have been impressive downing GCU and Gonzaga, and have lost six times by one goal. Senior midfielder Carlos Armendariz runs things with two goals and 35 shots, and the minutes leaders of Shammai Camara, Conor Walsh, and Bilal Mihoubi oversee the backline
· Head coach Yossi Raz matches up with his alma mater on Saturday traveling to CSUN. He got his first win against them in 2021 now 1-5, meanwhile the Matadors are battling in the Big West logjam with 10 points. They've been up with wins over SDSU, UNLV, and a Saint Mary's draw, but also down with a 7-0 loss at Missouri State and 4-0 loss at UCSB. Twelve goals from nine goalscorers is paced by Jamar Ricketts with three on eight points and Cooper Wenzel in net has been POTW twice
