SALT LAKE CITY – Following a successful 2–0 opening weekend, the Westminster women's soccer team has earned national recognition in the first NCAA Division II Women's Soccer Rankings, coming in at No. 25.

The Griffins opened their 2025 campaign with back-to-back home victories, highlighted by strong offensive pressure and a resilient defensive effort. The early success marks a promising start for a new team eager to prove itself on the national stage.

"It was a great thing to find out last night and exciting for our players. They have all put in the work." Coach Tony LeBlanc said, "It's always special to be recognized nationally but we have big goals this season that we want to focus on and this just helps the players know they are all achievable."

Westminster will look to build on its momentum this week as they take on Chaminade University and the University of Hawaii Hilo.
