RICHMOND, Va. (Nov. 2, 2023) – Three CAA Championships are in action this weekend with league titles to be earned in women’s soccer and field hockey along with the first two rounds in men’s soccer.
Women’s Soccer
A first-time CAA Women’s Soccer Champion will be crowned on Sunday in Maryland when Towson hosts Monmouth at Tiger Field (1 p.m., FloFC). Both teams are playing in the league title game for the first time after Towson’s program-record regular season and Monmouth’s appearance in the final in its second year in the CAA.
A game preview will be on CAASports.com on Saturday.
Field Hockey
A new CAA Champion will take home the trophy in field hockey this weekend, as Monmouth, Drexel, William & Mary, and Northeastern comprise the four-team field in Newark, Del. Of the teams in action, the Dragons (2012) and Tribe (2018) have won a CAA title; Drexel played in the final a year ago.
A tournament preview will be available later Thursday.
Men’s Soccer
The CAA Men’s Soccer Championship gets underway Thursday with a pair of neutral-site First Round games, as Delaware faces Drexel on Long Island (4 p.m., FloFC) and Stony Brook squares off with Elon in New Jersey (6 p.m., FloFC).

Volleyball
We have reached the penultimate weekend of the CAA Volleyball schedule. Towson became the first team to secure a CAA Championship berth last weekend, and nine teams are alive for the final five spots. Four teams – Delaware, Campbell, Hofstra and Northeastern – can clinch conference tournament bids this weekend. The Blue Hens need just one win and will have two opportunities when they host North Carolina A&T. The Camels can get in with two wins or one win and some help as Campbell gets set to host Hampton. The Pride and Huskies need to sweep their weekend series, along with a sweep from Stony Brook or UNCW in their weekend clash. Hofstra is on the road against Charleston, while Northeastern travels to William & Mary. The lone matchup with no postseason implications features Towson entertaining Elon.|
