UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. – Richmond released its 2013 schedule as announced by head coach Peter Albright Tuesday.
“This is one of our most demanding schedules in years,” said Albright, who begins his 18th year at the helm of the program. “I am really excited to have the opportunity to compete against some outstanding and historic women's soccer programs. We will be competing against some of the best leagues in the country in the ACC, Ivy League, CAA and Big East. This schedule will allow us time to prepare for A-10 play, and will give us an opportunity to make a case for ourselves for the NCAA Tournament.”
