IRVINE, Calif. ---  Head Coach Yossi Raz adds another crop of talented, hard-working, and bought-in student-athletes into the fold for the 2024 season.

Nine new additions join the squad with four freshmen from across California and a fifth from Arizona, and four transfers hailing Division I, II, NAIA, and junior college levels with a large Southern California influence and even some from as far away as the Netherlands.

"We're extremely excited for the roster we're assembling for this upcoming year," head coach Yossi Raz said of his newest Anteaters. "We feel that we have strengthened the organization in key positions all around the field and we have talent that has played at the highest level on the international landscape as well as proven talents that were already successful in the Big West. When we look at the board, we see great talent, depth, and a lot of tools that allows us to play the game in many ways, and have also brought a talented recruiting class that is a mixture of transfers and true freshmen that can play to the highest level of the game. we are looking forward to the challenge and are very excited for what's to come."

The newest recruits have jumped right into this first week of week-plus of training, and they've already been challenged an exhibition match vs. Grand Canyon and final tune-up Saturday evening vs. Loyola Marymount. The season kicks off next week at No. 4 Oregon State for the Anteaters.
