ALBANY, N.Y. – The University at Albany men's soccer team announced its upcoming 19-game 2013 schedule on Tuesday, June 11. The Great Danes have on tap three 2012 NCAA Tournament participants (Cal State Northridge, Fairleigh Dickinson, and Syracuse), four new opponents (Cal State Northridge, Cal State Fullerton, Monmouth, and Dartmouth), and 10 home games in the 2013 season.
“We're excited by what promises to be an outstanding, challenging, schedule,” said third-year head coach Trevor Gorman. “Our goal is to play against top programs, and every team on this year's schedule has a great tradition of success. We're also looking forward to having 10 home games and the opportunity to play in front of our fans in the capital region so many times.”
The Great Danes open up the season with a trip to California. UAlbany will play in the Cal State Northridge Tournament to face the Matadors on August 30th and finish with Cal State Fullerton on September 1st.
