Bobcat soccer gearing up for ’07

     The GCSU Department of Athletics and head soccer coach  Robert Parr have announced the 2007 schedule for the Bobcat women’s soccer program.
     The schedule features nine home dates at Bobcat Field on GCSU’s West Campus, six of which  are coming in October. The Bobcats have five exhibition contests, thanks to a rare three-game set in the Bahamas.
     The GCSU soccer team will make its first trek to the Bahamas, playing games Aug. 7-9. The trip benefits the Bobcats on many levels, helping the 13 newcomers bond with the class of returning players, playing some outstanding young competition in teams from the College of the Bahamas, the Bahamas Select IX and Cavalier FC programs, and adding a morale boost to training camp.
     After those three dates, GCSU hosts Division I Georgia Southern University Friday, Aug. 17 at 7 p.m. for another exhibition before hitting the road. Savannah College of Art and Design provides the final exhibition, leading into a three-game road stretch to start the season. Thomas University opens the regular season Saturday, Aug. 25 at 2 p.m., followed by Montevallo University the next day at 1 p.m. The Bobcats travel to the University of North Alabama Sunday, Sept. 9 at 1 p.m.  before beginning the Peach Belt Conference slate at home.
The Univeristy of South Carolina-Pembroke is the first conference victim and also the first home game for the Bobcats, Saturday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. A week later is the lone  day-time home contest, a 2 p.m. start against non-conference foe University  of Alabama-Huntsville Sept. 22. The Bobcats travel for PBC games at Lander University Wednesday, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. and at Armstrong Atlantic State University Saturday, Sept. 29 at 2 p.m.  GCSU begins October at home, Wednesday, Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. against University of South Carolina Aiken, then has a non-conference game with Shorter College Saturday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. as well. Thursday, Oct. 11 at 4 p.m. Georgia College heads to Georgia Southwestern State University, before returning home for another non-league game with Mars Hill College Saturday, Oct. 13 at 5 p.m.

Newberry College finishes the non-conference matches Saturday, Oct. 20 at 4 p.m., while North Georgia College & State University comes to Milledgeville Wednesday, Oct. 24 for a 7 p.m. start.
