It's good to see UConn starting the season with 2 games in 3 days. This is a scheduling practice that Ray Reid has studiously tried to avoid in the past, to the point where UConn no longer participates in early season tournaments. As he has explained on previous occasions, he thinks 2 games in 3 days brings on too much fatigue to the players. There is a big problem to this line of thinking. Since the post season conference tournament finals always have the winning teams playing 2 games in 3 days (as does the NCAA tournament final four), I always thought it was good to expose your team to this at some point during the season to get them used to it. Perhaps Ray Reid is finally seeing the light on this little scheduling issue. I always thought that Reid was so strident on this scheduling issue that he would accidentally psyche out his team whenever they got into a 2 games in 3 days situation during conference tournament play.

Where did you get that? Any idea of the road games?

I don't understand why we don't try to schedule a series with some of the top teams in the sport year in and year out. Stanford, UNC, Akron, and Indiana particularly.

The home schedule was on the UConn men's soccer twitter feed. The new men's soccer stadium is due to open in a couple of years. Given the project seems to have been reworked, I'm not sure if that will be in 2019, 2020, or when. While I don't know it for a fact, I have a feeling that the home schedule could be loaded with quality teams that season. We'll see.

It was a UConn Men’s Soccer tweet promoting group tickets. No word yet on road games but we’ll have conference games at Central Florida, Tulsa and Memphis and I anticipate games at Yale and Providence.

Finally. UConn hasn't played in any early season tournaments in quite some time. Some of it is no doubt due to Ray Reid's misplaced antipathy towards playing 2 games in 3 days, which he always felt did not give his players enough rest, even though post season conference tournaments always had the winners playing 2 games in 3 days. This season UConn is twice playing 2 games in 3 days, so that little piece of Ray Reid dogma may be over.

I'm glad he finally got over the 2 in 3 days thing because it's the format for postseason tournaments and that's sorta kinda important lol.

While UConn did not release a story on their fall men's soccer schedule, it was posted on the website today. Three games that haven't already been posted, home exhibition games against Colgate and Syracuse, and a road game against Akron, a school that always seems to have a quality soccer team. This past season Akron made it to the College Cup semi finals, further proof of the competitiveness of non P5 schools in the world of NCAA men's soccer.
