From intrastate rivals ousting each others’ foes to unranked conquerors to epic golazos, here’s everything you need to know about yesterday’s women’s and men’s non-conference footy.

As mentioned, the men’s 2023 season takes the pitch with a full slate tomorrow, so brush up with our handy soccer guide, then prep for another upset-filled roller-coaster year.

Hurricane Hilary wasn’t the only storm brewing yesterday, and despite the weather canceling No. 1 UCLA’s and No. 22 USC’s matches, the NCAA gals (thunder)struck pitches nationwide, with ranked squads proving their Top 25 mettle.

Prep your best celly and blast your team’s fight song — after a week of exhibition games, the women’s soccer season officially kicks off tomorrow.

Soccer’s not just the world’s most watched sport — it’s one of the NCAA’s most popular.

When it comes to leveling the collegiate playing field pitch, few have done more than Julianne Sitch, who became the first woman to lead a men’s team to an NCAA championship when her University of Chicago (UChicago) Maroons took the DIII title last December.

December is apparently for men’s soccer shootouts, and the No. 3 Syracuse Orange leaned into the trend when they bested the eight-time champ dynasty No. 13 Indiana Hoosiers in penalties to claim the men’s College Cup on Monday night.

While the men’s World Cup won’t be decided until next Sunday, the men’s College Cup will turn on a confetti shower in just a handful of hours.

The gals just departed the championship soccer pitch, but Cary, NC, remains busy with the men’s final four, featuring two unseeded teams, kicking off today before Monday’s championship.

As mentioned, the UCLA Bruins won the Women’s College Cup on Monday night, taking down the UNC Tar Heels in arguably the most dramatic women’s footy championship final to date.

Men’s water polo anointed its national champs last night, while the Women’s College Cup final kicks off tonight at 6 p.m. ET on ESPNU.

The pro fútbol world’s eyes may be on Qatar, but the NCAA girlies will be stealing the show tonight as the final four collegiate squads face off in the Women’s College Cup (WCC). Here’s who’s kicking it in Cary, NC.
