UC San Diego Women’s Soccer Hits the Road for Tests Against UNLV, Northern Arizona

Tritons look to build on four-goal breakout as they visit Las Vegas and Flagstaff for their first road matches of the season


LA JOLLA, Calif. | UC San Diego women’s soccer will take its early-season momentum on the road this week when the Tritons face UNLV in Las Vegas before traveling to Flagstaff for a matchup against Northern Arizona.

UC San Diego enters the two-game road swing with a 1-1-0 record after producing an impressive four-goal performance against Utah Tech last Saturday. The offensive breakthrough gave the Tritons their first victory of the season and provided a confidence boost ahead of their first matches away from home.

The road trip begins Thursday against UNLV, with kickoff scheduled for 5:30 p.m. in Las Vegas. UC San Diego will then head to Arizona to face Northern Arizona at 1 p.m. Sunday in Flagstaff.

The back-to-back contests should provide an early measure of the Tritons’ ability to translate their home-field success into road results. Playing in two different environments within a matter of days will test UC San Diego’s depth, defensive organization and ability to maintain its attacking rhythm.

After scoring four times against Utah Tech, the Tritons will look to continue creating quality opportunities and applying pressure in the final third. Maintaining that offensive production could prove critical against UNLV and Northern Arizona, particularly as UC San Diego adjusts to the demands of travel and unfamiliar playing conditions.

The matchup with Northern Arizona may present an additional challenge because of Flagstaff’s elevation. Managing player workloads and recovering quickly following Thursday’s contest could become important factors as the Tritons complete the two-game trip.

For UC San Diego, the weekend represents more than an opportunity to improve its record. It is an early chance to establish consistency, demonstrate resilience on the road and build momentum for the remainder of the season.

A successful trip would give the Tritons valuable confidence as they continue developing their identity and preparing for the more demanding portion of their schedule.

Game Schedule

  • Thursday: UC San Diego at UNLV — 5:30 p.m., Las Vegas
  • Sunday: UC San Diego at Northern Arizona — 1 p.m., Flagstaff
