“I’m really excited for this upcoming season,” said assistant coach Brianna Murgi.

“We have a ton of young talent returning as well as veteran leadership that will help us make this a successful season. We also have eight newcomers whose presence will have an immediate impact.”

The season starts with four non-conference games on the road at VMI, Hampton, Akron and Saint Francis from Aug 17-27. “We have a challenging out of conference schedule that will prepare us for Horizon League play,” stated Murgi.

The first official home game at the NAC (North Athletic Complex) will be against Indiana State on Aug 31.

Continuing on in the month of September, the Bonnies of St. Bonaventure come to town on Sep 3. This will be Alumni Day for the RMU women’s soccer program. Then, RMU heads out on the road for two more non-conference tilts against Mount Saint Mary’s and Le Moyne College.

Conference play starts at Purdue Fort Wayne for RMU on Sep 14. The first Horizon League game at the North Athletic Complex will be on September 17 vs. Green Bay.
