DEMOREST — Following a record-setting season that saw a program-best 20-2-1 record including the USA South Tournament title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament, the Piedmont College women's soccer team is looking to continue that success with the release of the 2016 schedule by Head Coach Stephen Andrew. The season begins with a pair of regionally ranked foes in Centre College and DePauw University who finished the 2015 season 1st and 7th in their respective regions.
Piedmont will be in the friendly confines of Walker Athletic Complex eight times in the 2016 season with nine road contests and a neutral site game at the Centre College Tournament. The Lady Lions will be on the road for the first three weeks of the season before opening the home schedule with newly added USA South foe Wesleyan College on Sept. 24.
The season opener comes on Sept. 3 at the Centre College Tournament with DePauw University who finished the 2015 season 12-7-2 overall claiming their first-ever North Coast Athletic Conference regular season championship and second tournament title. The Tigers advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after a win over Wisconsin-Oshkosh in penalty kicks but lost to Calvin ending their season.
The season begins on Sept. 3 on the road against DePauw University in Danville, Kentucky while the home opener comes against Wesleyan College on Sept. 24 at 2 p.m. All home action, for the fourth year in a row, will be broadcast live on Piedmont's own Mane Event Broadcasting Network with live video and live stats integrated into one broadcast.
