Spring practice here in the Carolinas put some pretty impressive matchups together. UNC, NC State, Wake and Duke play various local clubs, national teams, international teams, and of course, they play each other in exhibitions.

So I was wondering, do the FAU teams get involved with a schedule of exhibitions in their spring practices, which I assume has started?

The FAU women's soccer team travelled out to California this spring for some games. Not sure who they played or what the scores were but I know they went out there over the spring break period.

Seems to me that their spring schedule should be pretty common knowledge. It ain't. Nothing on the website. By the way what is the advantage to outsourcing the sports website? And who is in charge of marketing our sports programs?

UNC spring schedule for men's soccer, surprisingly from the UNC website:

By the way I am down to 6 years to talk my daughter into playing soccer at FAU. Now all I need is a sales pitch to give her. Because the old man went there, won't get it done.

Hoot-

Just have your daughter keep an eye on FAU women's soccer. They qualified for NCAA's this year. Lost to FSU 3-0 but it was 1-0 until the last couple of minutes when they adjusted to a more attacking offense to try and score the tying goal.

The home schedule is great next year with games in Boca Raton against Florida State and Georgia. I believe the women's soccer team will definitely be toward the top of the Sun Belt.
