CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Miami head soccer coach Ken Masuhr officially announced the team’s schedule for the 2024 season Friday.
Miami’s slate features 16 matches including nine at Cobb Stadium, with the Canes taking on six opponents that appeared in last year’s NCAA Championship. Three of last year’s NCAA Final Four participants in Clemson, Florida State and Stanford are also featured in this year’s schedule.
“We are thrilled to bring several high-profile teams to Coral Gables and Cobb Stadium this fall,” Masuhr said. “Our non-conference slate will test us in various ways by teams that have very different playing styles, which will help us prepare for ACC play in September. I am looking forward to coaching the 27th version of our program and the first with our staff leading the charge. Go Canes!”
