Head coach Barry Christmas and his women's soccer team have been impressed by the playability of their new field during preseason training sessions and can't wait to kick things off on Friday."We're incredibly excited about playing our first game under the lights at our beautiful new complex," Christmas said. "Not only is this a great addition to the university as a whole, it will definitely have a positive impact on all aspects of the programs who call this facility home." Christmas welcomes back the top six scorers from his 2018 squad, which mounted a late-season surge to earn a Mountain East Conference Tournament berth and capitalized on that opportunity with the first post-season win in program history.
