SOMERSET, NJ - Entering its fourth season of competition, the St. Francis Brooklyn women's soccer team has secured its highest place in the Northeast Conference (NEC) preseason coaches poll. The coaches of the NEC have predicted the Terriers to finish seventh in the conference for the 2022 season.
"Our team is motivated to return to action this fall after the first days of camp," said head coach Justine Lombardi. "With a complete spring preseason program under our belt, the work is already showing dividends this summer and we look forward to competing in the NEC for our fourth season."
The Terriers secured a seventh-place finish after the 2021 campaign. The program has grown yearly, with its win percentage improving each season since its inaugural campaign in 2019.
This season begins Aug. 18 in Buffalo with the Terriers' first trip to Canisius. St. Francis plays its first game of the season on Pier Five at Brooklyn Bridge Park on Aug. 21 against UNH.
