Joining them will be the women's soccer team, opening play with a scrimmage on August 24th vs Citrus College. Cross-country opens the 2023 season by hosting the annual Oxnard Invitational meet.
After a historic run, that saw the men's soccer team go 22-1-1 in the regular season, a perfect 10-0 in conference, and finish with a defeat of defending champion Mt. SAC, the 2023 team has a tough act to follow. After claiming the college's second CCCAA State Championship, the team transferred a majority of the sophomores to the four-year level, so the first-year players will look to lead.
