ALBANY, N.Y. – The University at Albany men’s soccer team and head coach Trevor Gorman have officially released the 2024 season schedule.
“We’re all very excited for the 2024 season,” said Gorman. “We’ve put together a fantastic schedule of good opponents that will challenge us week in and week out. Our non-conference schedule is filled with top-quality teams that will help prepare us for the intense competition of the America East. There are some great matchups coming to Casey Stadium and we can’t wait to have our home fans out supporting us.”
UAlbany is set to face five opponents coming off of 2023 NCAA Tournament appearances. Accounting for the last two seasons, seven of UAlbany’s 2024 opponents have made it to the NCAA Tournament at least once and four of them have been seeded. The America East itself was rated the fifth strongest conference last season after having three teams make the tournament with two advancing to the Sweet Sixteen.
The Great Danes start their season with exhibitions at home against UMass (8.12) and Northeastern (8.17) before the 2024 campaign officially kicks off on Aug. 22 at Niagara. The team returns to campus the next week for its home opener on Aug. 25 against LIU at Casey Stadium. The Great Danes then travel to take on back-to-back Big East opponents in Seton Hall (Aug. 29) and St. John’s (Sept. 1) before hosting crosstown rival Siena on Sept. 5.
Remaining non-conference home matchups include Cornell (Sept. 14), Syracuse (Oct. 1), and Colgate (Oct. 22) while road matchups include Marist (Sept. 9), Lafayette (Sept. 17), and Rhode Island (Sept. 24).
The team’s first America East contest is slated for Sept. 28 at UMass Lowell and the team’s first conference home game is scheduled for Oct. 5 against Vermont. Other home conference games for the 2024 season include matchups with New Hampshire (Oct. 26) and Bryant (Nov. 5).
The 2024 America East Men’s Soccer Championship begins on Nov. 9 with Quarterfinal matchups. Semifinal action is set for Nov. 13 with the Championship game scheduled for Nov. 17.
