The University first fielded a soccer team in 1975, being coached by Rod Gieger (who spent only a season with the squad). UC San Diego finished their debut season with a 6–3–1 record. [1] The team is currently coached by Jon Pascale [4] , who has been in charge since 2008. [5]
The tritons have won the NCAA Division III tournament on three occasions, [6] the last in 1993. [7] [8]
UC San Diego moved to Division II for the 2000–01 season. [9] In July 2020, UC San Diego joined the Big West Conference (along with Cal State Long Beach and Cal State Bakersfield) as part of the University's transition to Division I. UC San Diego started participating in the Big West soccer tournament since the 2020–21 season. [9]
