Lexi Wright Named to Allstate NACDA Good Works Team (Fall)
August 26, 2025 | Women's Soccer
UCLA women's soccer forward Lexi Wright was named to the first-ever Allstate NACDA Good Works Team (Fall). The award recognizes 20 student-athletes for their dedication to leadership, service and community impact.ย
Wright, a redshirt senior from Carlsbad, Calif., supports children with cancer through Zoe's Goal-Scoring Against Childhood Cancer, a non-profit organization that is committed to transforming the lives of children battling cancer by raising awareness about pediatric cancer, advocating for research and funding and supporting your cancer patients. Wright does regular hospital visits to UCLA's Mattel Children's Hospital to visit with patients.
"Hearing Zoe's story and how she persevered inspired me to use my platform to bring hope and joy to those facing unimaginable challenges," Wright said. "Being so close to the UCLA Hospital gives me and my team the unique opportunity to regularly visit and spend time with these incredible kids. Whether it's playing games, sharing laughs or simply being present, the connection we build brings light to their days โ and ours! Seeing their resilience inspires me every day, and the joy exchanged is something that is always a blessing."
Wright has also worked with the UCLA campus organization Unified, which plays sports with special needs kids weekly and holds an Inclusive Sports Day. She also volunteers with Football For Her, a non-profit organization that provides a safe space and motivates those who identify as female or non-binary to play, regardless of their economic standing.ย
A three-time conference champion, Wright was an integral member of the Bruins' 2022 NCAA Championship squad. She scored the Bruins' first goal in the national championship game to spark a memorable late-game comeback that led to UCLA winning its second NCAA crown. Her play in the tournament earned her a spot on the College Cup All-Tournament Team. Wright finished that year with eight goals, six assists and 22 points, ranking third on the team in all three categories. She followed up that season with a third-team all-conference nod, again ranking third on the team with six goals and 15 points. She was forced to sit out the 2024 season with an injury but earned Academic All-Big Ten honors. She returned to competition this fall and has played in all three of UCLA's games so far.
