FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State head soccer coach Brian Zwaschka released the 2010 schedule Tuesday afternoon. The upcoming season features eight home matches at Bulldog Stadium that include some of the top teams from around the state.
"We are truly looking forward to a challenging 2010 schedule," said Zwaschka. "We are playing some of the top schools in California and have two difficult out-of-region weekends in two of the top soccer hotbeds outside of our home state."
The Bulldogs will travel to Texas and Florida for tournaments in 2010. The `Dogs play the University of Texas El Paso and Texas State Aug. 27-29 at the UTEP Miner Classic. In September, Fresno State travels to Florida to play Florida International and Florida Atlantic in a tournament hosted by FIU.
The Bulldogs begin Western Athletic Conference play at home against San Jose State on Sept. 30. Other WAC opponents coming to Bulldog Stadium this season are Hawai'i, Utah State and Nevada.
Fresno State hits the road to round out the WAC schedule playing at New Mexico State, Louisiana Tech, Idaho and defending WAC Tournament Champions Boise State.
"Travel in the conference is definitely going to demand a lot from the team, but we are very excited to get going," said Zwaschka. "The plan is to return to Ruston, Louisiana in top form in November. I feel we have the right mix of matches, home and away, this season to prepare us for post-season play."
The `Dogs will return to Ruston, La. in early November for the WAC Tournament.
The Bulldogs finished the 2009 season 6-13 and 4-4 in WAC play. The `Dogs open the 2010 season with the second annual Red/White Scrimmage on Aug. 10 at 5 p.m. on the practice field located behind Beiden Field.
All Fresno State soccer matches are free to the public.
