Top-Seeded UMBC Women's Soccer Hosts No. 4 Hartford Sunday in America East Semifinals

BALTIMORE – UMBC women’s soccer opens its first conference tournament as the No. 1 seed and will look for its first-ever victory in the America East Championship when it hosts No. 4 Hartford on Sunday, Nov. 3 at Retriever Soccer Park. The action starts at 1 p.m., and can be seen live on UMBCRetrievers.tv. The first 200 students in attendance will receive free admission.

The Retrievers (11-5-2, 6-2-0 AE) clinched a share of their first-ever regular-season title last Sunday, matching the program’s highest win total with a 2-1 victory against New Hampshire. UMBC’s turnaround over the past year ranked third in Division I, with only UAB and Cornell posting a higher winning percentage differential. The turnaround also marked the league’s biggest improvement, going from last in the conference in 2012 to first in 2013.
