About the Program

Occidental’s women’s soccer team competes at the NCAA Division III level in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. In its relatively short history women’s soccer has produced a number of Western Region All-American’s, All-SCIAC Most Valuable Players plus numerous First & Second Team All-Conference Selections.

With eight All-SCIAC, six All-Academic, five Western Region selections and one SCIAC Player Of The Year award in the last two years the program is very competitive and provides a great opportunity for motivated student-athletes to excel at their sport.

We believe ability plays an important role in achieving success, but equally, if not more important are effort and attitude. We try to incorporate a positive, powerful attitude knowing it will result in positive, powerful results. There are no shortcuts to success, so we demand great effort and hard work from everyone in our program.

Along with playing tough conference rivals, Occidental competes against Regionally and Nationally ranked opponents from the NCAA and NAIA such as UC Santa Cruz, Chapman and Puget Sound. Most of our games are played on our natural grass field at the top end of our beautiful campus while we also play a few games on our Fieldturf facility on Patterson Field.

Occidental College is phenomenal school with a faculty and academic program second to none. We are located in one of the most dynamic cities in America yet we have the feel of a small college. Our students compete with the best of the best in the classroom and our women’s soccer team is primed and ready to compete with the best in our region.
