The Long Month of September

WHEW! September has been a long month for the HPU women's soccer team! The team traveled over 2500 miles (all by bus) and spent every weekend in a hotel. All while posting an impressive 3-1-2 record with 18 goals for and only 8 against as well as posting 2 shutouts. The highlight of the month came in Murfreesboro, TN at the MTSU tournament where the Panthers took home the championship trophy with wins over Alabama A&M (4-0) and the host team MTSU (3-2) who had never lost in their home tournament. Our ties came against rival Elon Universisty (1-1) and Georgia Southern (4-4) with the lone loss of the month coming to College of Charleston (1-0). We topped off the long month with a win at South Carolina State (6-0) which is a great way to finish our non-conference schedule and should catapult us into conference play which starts this Wednesday October 1st at UNC Asheville and then at home against Winthrop on Friday October 4th. We urge everyone to come out and support your HPU women's soccer team throughout conference play as we have 4 home games in the month of October and 1 in November as well as hosting the Big South Tournament November 6-9 right here at Vert Stadium. Check back often as updates will be posted regularly as well as some of your favorite players will be making posts and contributions for everyone to enjoy. Pictures from the trips will be posted soon.
