CHARLOTTESVILLE – The Virginia women’s soccer team announced its 2015 schedule Monday, which includes 10 home games at Klöckner Stadium and six contests against 2014 NCAA Tournament teams.
The home schedule is highlighted by an Oct. 25 showdown with reigning NCAA Champion Florida State in a rematch of last year’s College Cup final. ACC rivals Duke and Notre Dame will also visit Klöckner Stadium this fall.
The Cavaliers open the season with a three-game homestand, beginning with the season opener against UNC Wilmington on Aug. 23. The following weekend is the Virginia Nike Soccer Classic, as the Cavaliers host Cal Poly on Aug. 28 and Delaware on Aug. 30. Richmond rounds out the field of the tournament and will play neutral site matches on both days of the tournament.
Virginia will travel to California on the first weekend of September for a pair of games against NCAA Tournament squads. On Sept. 4, Virginia plays at UCLA in a rematch of last year’s 2-1 Cavalier victory over the top-ranked Bruins in the NCAA quarterfinals. The Cavaliers conclude the trip on Sept. 6 with a visit to Pepperdine, a NCAA round of 16 squad last season.
After the Cavaliers return from California, they conclude the non-conference schedule with a pair of home matches. Virginia hosts reigning Ivy League Champion Harvard on Sept. 11 before welcoming in-state foe Old Dominion on Sept. 13.
The ACC schedule will consist of 10 games this season and opens on Sept. 20 when the Cavaliers host Syracuse. Virginia remains at home the following week, hosting Notre Dame on Sept. 24 and Duke on Sept. 27.

This year’s ACC Tournament will feature the top four teams competing Nov. 6-8 at the WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C. The NCAA Tournament begins on Nov. 13 and runs through the College Cup, Dec. 4-6 in Cary.
Prior to the season, the Cavaliers play two exhibition games. On Aug. 14, Virginia will play Illinois in Maple City, Mich. The Cavaliers return home for an exhibition game on Aug. 17 against Maryland.
