Women's Soccer Announces 2019 Spring Schedule
Includes match with NWSL Champion NC Courage
COLUMBIA, S.C. –South Carolina women’s soccer team unveiled its 2019 spring schedule Friday, announcing five matches, including an exhibition with the NWSL Champion NC Courage in Cary, N.C.
The Gamecocks begin the spring slate with a match against a 2018 NCAA Tournament team in Wake Forest on March 23. Carolina will play the match with the Demon Deacons at Stone Stadium, with admission free to the public. The time of all matches will be released at a later date.
A week later Carolina travels to Cary, N.C., to take on the NC Courage. Gamecock fans may be familiar with the squad as multiple former Carolina women’s soccer players have played with the NC Courage, including current defender Kaleigh Kurtz, who won a championship with the team last season. Former Carolina standout Sabrina D’Angelo also was with the team during its championship season. The Gamecocks’ March 30 match with the professional squad will not be played at Sahlen’s Stadium at Wakemed Soccer Park, but at a nearby practice field.
The Gamecocks will continue their spring schedule a week later with a pair of matches on the road against the College of Charleston and Coastal Carolina on April 7.
A match with Duke rounds out the Gamecocks’ spring schedule on April 13 at a neutral field in Charlotte. Duke qualified for the 2018 NCAA Tournament and finished in the round of 16 before falling to Georgetown.
In 2018, the Garnet and Black finished in a tie for third in the SEC and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Carolina returns 29 student-athletes in 2019, including seven who scored multiple goals in 2018. Rising senior and top goalkeeper Mikayla Krzeczowski returns, and newcomer Camryn Dixon could see her first minutes with the Gamecocks this spring.
