BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The sixth season of St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) women's soccer features a 16-game 2017 campaign that begins on Saturday, September 2 with a road match at Bard College in the first-ever meeting between the two programs.

Head Coach Gary Lawson returns for his second season at the helm with a deep incoming class and having graduated just two seniors.

The Bears will play four of their final five conference games at home. After two weeks on the road, the Bears return to Aviator Field to host league runner-up Mount Saint Mary College for a weeknight tilt on October 11.

Also highlighting the home slate is a Breast Cancer Awareness Game against Yeshiva University on October 17 and the regular season finale against Sarah Lawrence College on October 25 as the team celebrates Senior Night.
