The women’s soccer program enjoyed its most successful season in 2010, winning its first-ever Big West Conference regular-season championship and advancing to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen. The Anteaters became the first team in Big West history to go undefeated and untied in league games at 8-0-0 and posted the program’s highest number of wins at 19.

UCI hosted the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history, defeating Arizona State, 2-1, in the first round and then handing Wake Forest a 2-0 shutout loss in the second round. The Anteaters would end the season ranked No. 14 in the nation, its highest-ever ranking.  

Two Anteater standouts were named All-America, giving UCI its first All-Americans in the sport of women’s soccer and Tanya Taylor became the first Anteater to be selected in the Women’s Professional Soccer draft in 2010.
