Rhode Island travels to Skyhawk Field on Thursday, August 20th for a 4:00 PM EDT kickoff against Stonehill — the first whistle of the season for both programs, and the first chance to set a tone.
Every season opener carries its own electricity. Neither side has a result to lean on yet, no momentum to ride or rut to escape. It is pure possibility. For Rhode Island, the road test reveals who arrived ready to compete from minute one. For Stonehill, the home opener is a chance to defend their turf and establish identity in front of their own crowd.
That clean slate is exactly what makes it worth your afternoon. Two teams, one field, zero history in the books for 2025. Someone sets the standard first. Be there when it happens.
