Drexel and Robert Morris open their seasons Thursday afternoon at North Athletic Complex, both carrying 0-0 records into a fresh campaign where every touch matters from the opening whistle.
There's something pure about a season opener — no tape to lean on, no momentum to ride, just two squads walking onto the pitch with a blank page and a chance to set the tone for everything that follows. The first goal, the first save, the first statement — they all carry extra weight in August.
Robert Morris holds home-field advantage at North Athletic Complex, a venue where comfort and familiarity can matter early in a season when sharpness is still being found. Drexel arrives ready to test that edge. Kickoff is set for 4:00 PM EDT on Thursday, August 20th — the kind of afternoon match that reminds you college soccer is back and every story starts somewhere.
