The college soccer season is well underway across the country, with conference play starting to get in swing. In this weekly column, TopDrawerSoccer will be dividing the country up into several broad regions and putting a spotlight on a new one each week. This week, we’ll take a look at some of the major storylines out of California from the last games of non-conference play and the start of conference matches.

No maps or geography disclaimers this week. California has enough teams and stories to be its own region.
