Written and narrated by the hosts and accompanied by original music, this project paves the way for high-quality long-form journalism in Mustang News and KCPR.
As of Thursday, Nov. 6, Cal Poly women’s soccer is in contention for a Big West postseason championship.Many players are itching for a postseason title after being eliminated in the finals in 2021 and 2023. Six Mustangs earned All-Big West honors for the regular season after the team narrowly missed out on the first seed.
This included junior forward Annika Smith earning Offensive Player of the Year and senior defender Brennan Cole earning Defender of the Year.
“I think the mindset from last year to this year is a huge difference,” Smith said. “Everyone this season is on the same page and is super committed to this team and I’m just so grateful for everyone around me because they put in a great shift every day, even during practices.”
Cal Poly went from missing the postseason to the most accoladed team of 2025, driven by changes in personnel, culture and on-field strategy.
The Mustangs had competed for the postseason chip every year exiting the pandemic, but had an incredibly disappointing 2024 season. To follow, the only head coach in program history, Alex Crozier, had planned to retire.
Also, many notable seniors were graduating, which left the rest of the Mustangs to regroup under a new coach.
This coach, Bernardo Silva, made many changes to personnel and team culture, labeling them as a rebrand called Cal Poly 2.0.
During the episode, the hosts explore what happened in Alex Crozier’s final years, the transition to Cal Poly 2.0, and what these changes look like on the field.
