ST. LOUIS — The Webster University women's soccer team announced their 2019 schedule on Thursday that has the team playing three schools that advanced to the NCAA Division III Tournament in 2018.
Webster will play an 18-match regular season schedule, including nine home matches at World Wide Technology Soccer Park in Fenton and nine matches in St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play.
The Gorloks enter the 2019 season after winning nine consecutive regular season matches since a 5-0 setback at home to No. 1 ranked Washington University in St. Louis last September.
Webster will play six matches against teams that won 10 or more matches in 2018, including two teams that won 18 or more matches last year.
The teams that won 10 or more matches last season are Dominican (Ill.), Rose-Hulman, WashU, Westminster (Mo.) College, Fontbonne University and Greenville University.
Webster's nine non-conference opponents posted a .596 winning percentage last season as six of the nine non-conference opponents recorded winning records in 2018, including WashU going 21-1-0 and Dominican (Ill.) posting an 18-3-0 record.
Both of those teams, along with Westminster, advanced to the NCAA Tournament last season with the Bears advancing to the national semifinals where they lost to Middlebury.
In 2018, Webster posted a 16-3-1 record and captured their seventh consecutive SLIAC regular season title, but fell in the semifinals of the SLIAC Tournament in overtime.
Webster will finish the 2019 regular season at home on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 3:30 p.m. against Greenville, who went 6-2-1 in the league and posted a 14-7-1 overall record last season.
