Ariane Haysman Boaler | FWDΒ - "I am so excited to become a part of the UC Irvine soccer family. I chose this program because of the work ethic, success, and amazing people that make up this program. I cannot wait to get started and become a part of this family."
Fiona Shin | FWD/MIDΒ - "I chose UCI because I fell in love with the amazing community, coaches, esteemed academics, and its soccer program. I immediately felt at home the minute I walked on campus. It is the perfect place for me to learn and grow not only as a soccer player but also as a student and person."
Gianna Costello | FWDΒ - "I chose UCI due to its highly competitive nature both academically and athletically. I want to be challenged and grow as an athlete, scholar, and person, and I saw UCI as the perfect place to do just that. Stepping on campus, UCI felt like an environment where everyone was geared and driven towards success and a place with so many opportunities. The team and staff culture was unique and caught my eye immediately. I'm looking forward to becoming one of the Anteaters!"
Jasmyne Wheeler | DEFΒ - "I chose UCI because it is one of the top public universities in the U.S., located in a beautiful area of Southern California. Its strong academic programs along with a competitive and talented women's soccer team, make it the perfect university for me to thrive."
Kamilah Jones | GKΒ - "From the beginning, the coaches were very upfront and honest with me, which is something I value. UCI also has an anesthesiologist program, which is what I'm studying to become. It ultimately was solidified when I went to the campus and saw the beauty of all the facilities they have to offer and what they provide so that their student-athletes succeed."
Malaina Duro | MID/DEFΒ - "I chose UCI because I love the area and being close to my family. I also love the coaches and how welcoming everyone is!"
Mara Cochon | FWDΒ - "I'm excited to attend an academically rigorous school and be surrounded by students who strive to challenge themselves. I'm also thrilled to be part of such a successful soccer program that includes aΒ fun and welcoming team environment. I can't wait to get started!"
Mia Rodriguez | MIDΒ - "I chose UCI after attending an ID camp and being able to connect well with the coaches and falling in love with the campus. Overall UCI's great academics and being able to play on a high level competitive soccer team at the same time is what sold me to the school."
Sophia Speziale | DEFΒ - "I chose UCI because of the amazing team culture this program has and its drive for success on a national level every year. I also chose UCI for the great academics and am hoping to dive more into the field of sports medicine when I am at Irvine. Go Anteaters!"
Trinity Morales | FWDΒ - "I'm beyond excited to join the UCI Women's Soccer program! When I was considering transferring, UCI was an obvious choice. Not only will I have the opportunity to continue my education at a top-tier institution, but I'll also be able to play my final year of collegiate soccer in a highly competitive and successful environment."
