GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNC Greensboro (UNCG) men's soccer Head Coach Chris Rich has announced the team's 2024 schedule.

The Spartans are looking to build off last season and return to dominance after concluding the regular season with a pair of draws against Wofford and Mercer, 1-1, before storming past VMI, 6-2.

"We are very excited about our 2024 schedule," said Head Coach Chris Rich. "It's another elite schedule that will prove to be challenging, but also one that will give us the opportunity to be an at-large NCAA Tournament team if we are successful.

"It's highlighted by three incredibly tough road games against top-10 level programs, which includes the Big East champions, a 2023 Final Four team and one of most successful college programs of all time in Virginia.
 
"On top of these games, we once again will play some of the best mid-major programs in our region. These programs are consistently in or around the top-25 so we know they will be exciting.
 
"Twelve games at home, two preseason and 10 regular season at the UNCG Soccer Stadium, is great for the UNCG community so we are looking forward to seeing our fans in the stands this fall!"
