The Tritons concluded the 2023 season with a 4-3-3 mark in conference play, including wins at tournament second seed UC Davis and third seed Cal Poly. Despite finishing fifth in The Big West standings last year, conference regulations prevented the Tritons from taking part in the six-team Big West Championship. That won't be the case this year with UC San Diego fully eligible for conference and NCAA postseason play. The six-team Big West Championship begins Nov. 3 with the opening round, concluding with the championship match on Nov. 10. The winner of the Big West Championship will receive an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament.
