That weekend is a tremendous opportunity for us. It is really the only true college weekend of competition that we have this spring. We play two very good teams in UAB and the traditional powerhouse of North Carolina.

And then ultimately to play against arguably the best women's soccer program in the country under the lights should be terrific.
