London was a part of the League 1 Ontario Women’s Premier Division championship team in 2022 and 2024, with the team runner-up in 2023.
On why UNM, London noted, “from the moment I stepped on campus, UNM immediately felt like home. It had a magical feeling about it that I couldn't forget. The coaches and girls were super supportive, and I could see the people at UNM becoming my second family.” London intends to major in exercise science.
From Uruapan, Michoacán, Mexico, Peralta spent the past two seasons at Arizona Western College, playing in 23 matches with two starts. Last season, Peralta played in 14 matches and scored one goal, which came against College of Southern Nevada, and took two shots on the season.

At the club level, she played for Club Necaxa and Club Toluca and made her debut with Club Necaxa in 2022 with Club Toluca named the best defensive team in 2023.
On why New Mexico, Peralta commented, “I chose UNM because from the very beginning, I felt that they believed in me not only as an athlete, but also as a person and student. After all the hard work, sacrifices, and challenges I’ve faced since starting my JUCO journey, I knew this was the right place for me to continue growing, compete at the highest level, and keep building my academic and athletic future. I’m excited and grateful for this new chapter.” Peralta plans to major in kinesiology.
