The women’s soccer team starts off its season this weekend, playing host to Binghamton today, and then traveling to face Niagara on Sunday.

Coming into the final stretch of the season, the women’s soccer team is hoping to end the season on a winning note as it faces Dartmouth tomorrow afternoon on Berman Field. This will be the final opportunity for this team to play together, as senior Whitney Stich will play her last match for the Red tomorrow.
Although the Red (2-11-1, 1-5 Ivy) lost its matchup last weekend against Princeton, the squad is hoping to utilize the strategies and tactics that it learned this season and apply them to the last game of the season.
“This year has gone by really fast,” said sophomore goaltender Jodi Palmer. “I think we have learned so much about playing as a team and what it is going to take to be successful next year.”
