Kick-Off for Men’s Soccer Is Near
The final whistle was blown after Men’s Soccer finished their last exhibition of the season at Hartford. Now the Rams are focused on their first “official” match in their season opener against Georgia Southern on Friday. This match will kick-off a 4 match home-stand at Sports Backers for VCU with Radford awaiting a Sunday Funday duel.
Men’s Soccer finished last season at 12-7 overall and made it to the Atlantic 10 Championship Final only to fall just short of grasping the silverware against UMass. VCU was rewarded an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament where they fell to Butler in the second round.

Women’s Soccer Working on a W
Sports Backers Stadium will be the place to be on Friday with a Soccer Futbol Double-Header! VCU Women’s Soccer will take the field after the Men’s Soccer match going up against High Point University. After a previous weekend mixed with defensive setbacks and golden heroics, Women’s Soccer looks for another good result on the pitch against the Panthers.

When you win 27 consecutive matches, finish the season at 30-3 overall, and capture your first ever Atlantic 10 championship…people start paying attention. Now here in 2018 after having that special of a season what is in store for the Black & Gold?
