2010 Schedule Released
The Adrian College Women’s Soccer Team has released its tentative 2010 Varsity Schedule. The Bulldogs will be looking to build on their historic 2009 campaign when the season kicks off on September 1st.
“2010 will be an interesting year for us,” remarked Head Coach Ali Alamdari who returns for his 3rd season at AC. “We lost an amazing senior class, but our returners looked sharp and focused this spring, and our recruiting class is shaping up to be something very special. The schedule will test us early on, but we’re hoping that it sets us up for success in the MIAA like it did last year.” The Bulldogs started the 2009 season with four straight road games, winning only one. After that, the lights turned on and the squad went undefeated in their next seven matches en route to an MIAA Runner-Up finish.
Senior Captain Tessa Kellar will help lead the Bulldogs in 2010
Adrian opens up 2010 against DIII power Denison University. The Big Red were nationally ranked for much of 2009, making it to the second round of the NCAA tournament after an undefeated regular season in NCAC league play. The Bulldogs will then travel to the Marietta Classic in southern Ohio before hosting the 2nd Annual Briton-Bulldog Classic on the weekend of September 11th and 12th. Aquinas College will look to start a new intrastate rivalry with their match on September 15th, and the non-conference schedule will wrap up with a weekend trip to the Chicagoland area against Calumet and Elmhurst. Elmhurst College will be looking to avenge a 2-0 defeat to the Bulldogs in 2009.
One new highlight in 2010 will be a Men’s/Women’s doubleheader on Wednesday, October 20th. Not only will it be Senior Night for the Women’s team as they face USCAA National Champion Marygrove College, both Adrian squads will team up with Nike to promote the Join(RED) campaign to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.
