SANTA CLARA, Calif.
– Santa Clara women's soccer celebrated its two National Championship teams in at a banquet on October 16 on the Mission campus. The 2001 and 2020 teams gathered to celebrate both teams' achievements as part of the 20th anniversary of the first title in program history.

Speakers included direct of athletics Renee Baumgartner, acting university president Lisa Kloppenberg, Leslie Osborne of the 2001 squad, Sofia Jones of the 2020 team, and head coach Jerry Smith who was at the helm for both runs. They all spoke of overcoming the odds to reach the pinnacle of collegiate women's soccer, something both teams had to deal with: the 2001 team with the September 11 tragedy and the 2020 season being altered due to Covid.

Almost every player from both rosters were present and spent the night remembering two historic title runs that made Santa Clara just the seventh program with multiple National Championships.
