Squad composition

How the 32-player squad breaks down by position, as published by UC Irvine for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.

  • Goalkeepers4
  • Defenders8 (7)
  • Midfielders12 (3)
  • Forwards17 (9)

9 players are listed at two positions; the figure in brackets counts only single-position players.

Who is leaving, and when

4 of the 32 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 13% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.

Going by position: 2 goalkeepers, 2 forwards.

  • Freshman13

    7 forwards5 midfielders4 defenders1 goalkeeper

  • Sophomore10

    5 forwards4 midfielders3 defenders1 goalkeeper

  • Junior5

    3 midfielders3 forwards1 defender

  • Senior (final year)1

    1 forward

  • Graduate (final year)3

    2 goalkeepers1 forward

Final-year groups are shown in amber. A player listed at two positions is counted under each of them, since they provide cover in either, so the positions on a row can total more than the row itself. Redshirt players are counted in the year they are listed for.

Recent results

Overall record across the last 3 seasons. Soccer is a fall sport, so each season runs from August to a championship in December of the year shown. The NCAA files them by academic year, so the 2025 season appears as 2025-26 on its own site.
