NEWS AND NOTES

STRONG START

The CAA holds a .592 winning percentage in non-conference play through Sunday.

Drexel (4-0-2) remains unbeaten through six games for the first time in program history, while Monmouth (3-1-0), Towson (4-1-1), and Hofstra (3-1-1) have been limited to one defeat.

The CAA has multiple wins and no losses against the NEC (5-0-1), Patriot League (5-0-2), America East (4-0-1), and Sun Belt (3-0-0), along with a 4-1-0 mark against the Big South.

All 12 teams have at least one victory this fall.

FC PHILLY

Drexel’s soccer programs have combined for a memorable start to the 2022 season.

The Dragon women’s squad is a program-best 4-0-2 through six contests, while the men’s team is 2-0-1 after a 4-1 victory to begin CAA play Saturday.

THINGS ARE GOH-ING WELL

Towson is also off to its best start in years, as the Tigers are 4-1-1 through six games. 

It is the best start to the year for Towson since beginning 5-1-0 in 2007.

PROGNOSTICATIONS

UNCW received seven of 12 first-place votes in the CAA preseason coaches poll, while Hofstra collected four and Monmouth earned one.

The Seahawks earned the regular season title last year, the Pride captured the CAA Championship, and the Hawks grabbed the MAAC crown.

Northeastern, which advanced to the conference final last November, was voted third ahead of Monmouth.

GREAT EIGHT

Eight teams will qualify for the CAA Championship in 2022 with the quarterfinals hosted by the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds. 

The top remaining seed will host the conference title game in the first weekend of November.

DRAFT PARTY

Three CAA seniors - Hofstra’s Lucy Shepherd (Washington) and Miri Taylor (Angel City) and UNCW’s Audrey Harding (Washington) - were selected in last winter’s NWSL Draft.

The three CAA selections were tied for the most of any non-Power 5 conference.

WELCOME!

Monmouth is off to a 3-1 start and Stony Brook is 3-3 in their first trip through non-conference play as CAA members.

Hampton picked up its first win on Monday, scoring 10 goals against USCAA member Regent. 

It was announced in August that Campbell will join the group for the 2023 season.
