seyi

There couldn’t be a better slate of games for opening weekend in NCAA men’s college soccer.

Saturday is chock full of top-25 match-ups. Leading the schedule is a clash between the SBI #1 Maryland Terrapins and the SBI #4 UCLA Bruins, who will collide on Friday night. Also on Friday’s agenda is a top-10 clash between #6 Akron and #7 Georgetown, as well as top-25 matches between in-state rivals South Carolina Carolina and Clemson, as well as cross-country opponents Monmouth and Denver.

Things don’t slow down on Sunday as three top-25 matches are on schedule. Denver travels north from the Jersey Shore to take on Rutgers while UC Santa Barbara trades the west coast for the midwest as they travel to meet Ohio State. Akron closes out the most difficult weekend with a visit from #12 Seattle, giving them two top-12 opponents on opening weekend.

  1. UCLA, IU, Syracuse and Ohio State (all in Ives’ preseason top 16) were all in Fort Wayne, Indiana last weekend at a preseason exhibition. UCLA looked good even though they lost to the Hoosiers who played some home town talent.
