The fall sports season has already started for various teams at San Jose State. Women’s sports are underrepresented, especially among school teams. Supporting these teams is very important because it not only helps build confidence in the players but also brings awareness to the particular sport you are watching.
I felt it was important to highlight the upcoming games and matches of San Jose State’s Women’s sports teams. Each team has had incredible accomplishments. So, let’s go out and support them for this upcoming season!
Going to the games or matches is a fun way to hang out with friends or even family. You can make a day of going to grab food before or after the game, dressing up in school colors and so much more. Some games even have pregame activities to do. To buy tickets or find more information about various sports, check out the school’s website, SJSU Athletics.
Women’s Soccer
San Jose State’s Women’s Soccer team is in the Mountain West Conference and NCAA Division 1. Sixteen players were named Fall All-Mountain West Honors.

Their fall season officially started on August 15 against Santa Clara. It lasts from August to October and leads to the Mountain West Conference in November. Most games are at the Spartan Soccer Complex, and others are held at the opponent’s home field. Game times are usually in the afternoon; however, one game in October will be held in the morning.
