ning the Women's College Cup, the league's second national title in as many years. In fact the NCAA Championship match was an all WCC affair with Portland ousting Santa Clara in double overtime, denying the Broncos a second consecutive crown.

Fellow conference members San Diego, Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount all appeared in the NCAA College Cup Tournament. The 2002 season was a breakout year for Pepperdine. The Waves claimed a share of the WCC Championship and finished the season ranked ninth in the nation by the NSCAA. San Diego continued its tradition of playing excellent soccer, making their fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. USD was defeated in first round action by USC in Los Angeles 1-0 in overtime. A total of three conference schools ended the season ranked in the NSCAA Top-25. The WCC is proud to enter its twelfth season of women's soccer. Histori– cally, four member teams have tasted post-season play, with Santa Clara leading the way with 14 appearances, including ten NCAA semi-finals. Portland follows with ten trips, including seven appearances in the NCAA Semi-Finals and the College Cup Title a season ago. The Pilots advanced to the Finals in 1995. The University of San Diego has appeared in the NCAA Tournament five times, aiming for their fifth straight trip in 2003. Saint Mary's has quali– fied for the tournament three times, most recently advancing to the second round in 2001. Women's soccer is one of 13 sports the SO-year-old conference sponsors. Started in 1952 as a men's basketball league for five Bay Area schools, the WCC added women's athletics to its lineup in 1985. All WCC members are private institutions with high academic standards and growing athletic tradition.
