Men’s Soccer
The CAA Men’s Soccer regular season concludes this weekend with all five games having postseason implications. The slate begins Friday night in Williamsburg, with Stony Brook heading to William & Mary (7 p.m., FloFC). The Seawolves can earn at least a share of the CAA regular season title with a victory and stay in position to earn a first-round bye with some help on Saturday.
Campbell and Monmouth begin Saturday’s docket (1 p.m., FloFC); the Hawks are no worse than the No. 2 seed with a win, while Campbell needs a win and some help to make the six-team field. Charleston is at Delaware (2 p.m., FloFC); the winner of that game will punch its postseason ticket. Hofstra visits Northeastern (6 p.m., FloFC); the Pride is the top seed with a win, while the Huskies still enter Saturday with a path to the No. 6 seed. The night closes with a matchup of last year’s top two seeds as UNCW heads to Elon (7 p.m., FloFC); the Phoenix is in with a win, while the Seahawks will need a victory and some tiebreakers to go their way. |
Weekend Schedule
Field Hockey
We have come to the final weekend of the regular season in CAA Field Hockey, with seeding and a tournament berth on the line. There are three conference contests on Friday, starting at 3 p.m., with Northeastern hosting Drexel. The Dragons need a win to clinch a berth in the CAA Championship, and the Huskies look to improve their positioning in the postseason. At 4 p.m., Monmouth entertains Hofstra with the Hawks attempting to claim their second straight CAA Regular Season title and secure the top seed in the conference tournament. The evening concludes at 5 p.m. as Delaware hosts Towson. The Blue Hens need a win and a Drexel loss to claim the final berth in the CAA Tournament. |
Weekend Schedule
Volleyball
Conference play rolls on in CAA Volleyball, featuring six matches on Saturday and six on Sunday.

In addition, Campbell and Delaware can secure bids to the conference championship over the weekend. The Camels travel to Hofstra, while the Blue Hens head to UNCW.
The other three matchups spotlight teams close in the conference standings.
