UB Women's Soccer Set To Open Its 2023 Season Versus Southern New Hampshire On September 1st

Bridgeport, Conn.-Second-year head coach Tania Armellino and the University of Bridgeport women's soccer program will open the 2023 season with a neutral site match at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge, New Hampshire on Friday, September 1 at 12:00 p.m. when UB will face Southern New Hampshire University.  The Purple Knights will then continue their 17-game regular season slate with a contest against Southern Connecticut State University on Sunday, September 3, and that contest will also be played at Franklin Pierce.

After the two tilts at Franklin Pierce, the UB women will open their home schedule on Friday, September 8 when the squad opens four-match homestand against St. Anselm at 7:30 p.m. at Knights Field.  That tussle is a rematch of a 2022 NCAA Division II National Championship East Regional match that ended in a 1-1 draw but saw Bridgeport advance to the next round of play via a penalty kick shootout.

The Purple Knights are coming off an outstanding 2022 season in which the UB women posted an impressive 13-3-7 overall record, as the team finished the year on a school-record 19-match unbeaten streak.  Last season, Bridgeport went undefeated at 10-0-2 during its inaugural season of play in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference to take the CACC regular season title; and then followed that up by winning the conference's championship tournament to earn an automatic bid to the 2022 NCAA Division II Championship Tournament, advancing to the East Regional Semifinals.

Bridgeport women's soccer will open its 2023 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference schedule by hosting Thomas Jefferson University at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 16.

The 2023 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference champion for women's soccer will be the winner of the eight-team CACC Championship Tournament that will begin with a set of quarterfinals hosted by the top four seeds on Sunday, November 5.  The tournament semifinals and finals will be hosted by the University of Bridgeport at Knights Field on Friday and Sunday November 10 and 12.
