Both sides enter Thursday's opener at 0-0, which means everything is on the table and nothing is settled — the purest kind of soccer there is.
Ted Grant Field hosts the first chapter of a fresh season, where a clean slate meets opening-day adrenaline. For Le Moyne, it's a chance to defend home turf and set the tone early. For Canisius, the road trip is an opportunity to steal momentum before conference play heats up.
Season openers are where rotations get tested, newcomers announce themselves, and the foundation for an entire campaign gets poured. If you love college soccer, this is appointment viewing — two programs with something to prove and 90 minutes to start answering the questions. Kickoff at 4:00 PM EDT.
