2008 Soccer Schedule Announced


Recommended Posts

Not a bad schedule, but it's a bummer to see us lose the two ACC games we played last year that really helped the SOS (UNC and eventual national champion Wake Forest).Surprised to see WVU accept a return invitation to Lee Jackson after their toolbox of a coach blamed UA's "failure to have the facilities ready" and the weather for the 5-0 drubbing we gave them in the tournament a couple of years ago. After enduring a five-goal beating, he then went on to predict that fellow Big East side UConn would take us out in the next round... didn't happen. :)

I like having OSU, Michigan, and Penn State on the schedule every year though. IU and Notre Dame are perenial top 25 programs and Oakland is also usually very strong. The addition of Cincinnattii and WVU are also very nice. Great to see the team playing in two of the biggest national tournaments to start the year and hosting another. I wonder why Westfield dropped/discontinued sponsorship of our annual tournament?I'm not worried about the MAC games being home versus away. As the best program in the MAC by far, the team should go undefeated every year in the regular season.I'd like to see the team play Louisville....if only the woman's program could be built up to be this strong...

That guy, Mike Seabolt, got fired prior to last season (I think it was last season) for some shady operations going down with the program. Marlon LeBlanc from Penn State took over and has done well.
