ROHNERT PARK, CALIF. - The Sonoma State women's soccer team concluded their non-conference schedule last weekend against fellow CCAA member Cal Poly Humboldt and will kick off conference action this weekend against San Bernardino and Cal Poly Pomona. Despite a bit of an uncharacteristic start to the season, the Seawolves still pulled off key results against ranked opponents Colorado Springs and defending national champs Western Washington. SSU is also fresh off of their third straight league title after a dominating 15-win season and making their 18th NCAA Tournament appearance in 2022.
To start the 2023 season, Sonoma State finished with a non-conference record of 2-2-2 and recorded a pair of shutout victories over Biola and Dominican earlier this month. Head coach
Emiria Salzmann and her group were picked to finish second in the CCAA Preseason Coaches Poll and will look to their four all-conference returners to lead the way this season. Additional game day information and links can be found below:
