UC Irvine Giving Day

Early mornings. Long bus rides. Mud on the boots and homework on the bus. Our players live this every day. Giving Day support to UC Irvine Women's Soccer helps us make that grind worthwhile — with better preparation, recovery, and care. If you value the work behind the scenes, this is a meaningful way to help.

Together We Zot - Women's Soccer

As a result of the landmark settlement in the NCAA vs. House case, NCAA D1 institutions are entering a new era and now provide financial assistance to student-athletes as part of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) activities.

That's where Together We Zot comes in. The Together We Zot Fund is managed through the UC Irvine Foundation and is a 501(c)(3) organization. 

This initiative is a bold step forward. It's not just a donation — it's a targeted investment in the success of our student-athletes and the long-term strength of UC Irvine Athletics.

The Together We Zot - Women's Soccer fund is exclusively dedicated to providing scholarships, room and board stipends, summer school, institutional licensing (NIL) directly to student-athletes, and Alston awards, ensuring UC Irvine stays at the forefront of innovation and impact in college sports.

Together We Zot is about more than just funding. It's a commitment to:

• Recruiting and Retaining Top Talent
• Maximizing each student-athlete's potential
• Keeping UC Irvine Athletics nationally competitive
• Providing transformational support as rules evolve

Women's Soccer History of Success

The 2025 UC Irvine Women’s Soccer team had a strong season, finishing with a solid record and competing fiercely in the Big West. Women’s soccer’s defense boasted the nation’s 8th-lowest GAA, allowing just 11 goals and recording 10 shutouts this year. 

Mia Colombini was named Big West Midfielder of the Year, becoming only the second Anteater to earn the honor after leading all players with five goals in conference play and seven overall to tie for the scoring title. 

The team’s balanced attack, tenacious defense, and standout individual performances highlighted a season of growth and achievement for the Anteaters.
