EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer has announced its 2024 spring schedule, featuring six exhibitions during the spring season in preparation for the 2024 championship season in the fall.
The spring schedule kicks off February 24 with a road trip to Belmont University and concludes April 18 with a visit to Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois.
The spring slate includes a home date at Strassweg Field on March 16, as USI will host multiple scrimmages against Bellarmine University and Murray State University that day. Bellarmine and Murray State will also face each other on the same day.
In early April, the Screaming Eagles will travel to the University of Illinois, out of the Big Ten Conference, April 7 before going to Indiana State University on April 13.
“We are extremely excited for the 2024 Spring schedule,” USI Head Coach Eric Schoenstein said. “The plan was to schedule the toughest spring season in program history, and we feel like we have done that. As we continue to transition from Division II to Division I, we are using the spring to develop our current roster and get better each day. All six spring opponents are successful and talented programs, so each game will be a great test. We are eager to have the opportunity to play a Big Ten opponent at the University of Illinois, which will be a good measure to see where we are as we head into year three of D-I.”
