SDSU Women’s Soccer: Mountain West Champions

Magical Season ends in NCAA Round Against UCLA

The San Diego State women's team had its magical season come to an end in the NCAA second round with a 5-0 loss to No. 3 and top-seeded UCLA on November 15 at Drake Stadium in Los Angeles. The loss snapped the Aztecs' (15-4-5) eight-game winning streak and 16-match unbeaten streak.

The 2009 Mountain West Conference tournament champions, SDSU finished with 15 victories, its most since the 1999 season and the same number of wins it had the past two seasons combined.

San Diego State captured its first-ever Mountain West Conference women’s soccer tournament championship on Nov. 7 with a 1-0 win over eighth-ranked, top-seeded and tourney host BYU. The second-seeded Aztecs earned the league’s automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament, their first since 1999 and just their third in school history.

At the conclusion of the game against BYU, San Diego State landed four players on the all-tournament team, including tournament most valuable player Cat Walker. Joining Walker on the 11-person all-tournament squad were Niki Fernandes, Michaela DeJesus and Aubree Southwick. By earning MVP honors, Walker becomes the second Aztec to win the award and first since Sophia Perez in 2004. The four all-tournament team honorees are also the most since 2004 when that squad had four.
