The Illinois Institute of Technology Men’s Soccer team has released its 2016 schedule. This year’s slate features 10 regular-season home matches, introduces a new “Chicago Cup Series” with Moody Bible Institute, and pits the Scarlet Hawks against three 2015 NCAA Division III Tournament qualifiers.
After two August home exhibitions against College of Lake County (Sunday, August 21) and Benedictine University (Saturday, August 27), the Scarlet Hawks open the regular season schedule on the road. Illinois Tech will travel to Fond du Lac, Wis. to oppose Marian University on Thursday, September 1 for a 7 p.m. match. Marian, who finished 11-6-1 in 2015, is one of many strong opponents the Hawks will see on the schedule.
“This year’s schedule features some top-level programs from around the Midwest and nation, including multiple 2015 NCAA Tournament Participants,” stated Head Coach Marc Colwell. “We are confident that the competition will help us reach our full potential.”
Live audio, video, and statistics are set to be made available for all home matches in 2016. Live audio for all contests will be powered by Illinois Media School.
