LET US CHECK OUR SCHEDULE

CAA programs have put together ambitious slates with the goal of placing multiple teams in the NCAA Tournament - something the league has done in nine of the last 13 seasons.

Elon, Hofstra, UNCW, and Northeastern will each play five games against teams that played in last year’s NCAA Tournament, while Campbell and William & Mary will take on four opponents that qualified a year ago.

CAA teams have six of this week’s United Soccer Coaches Top 25 on their non-conference schedules: No. 3 Wake Forest, No. 8 Georgetown, No. 9 Duke, No. 11 North Carolina, No. 19 New Hampshire, and No. 24 Bryant.
