Goldey-Beacom's men's soccer team announced its 2015 schedule, a slate which features nine home games and plenty of challenging foes.
 
The Lightning open the campaign with a trip to North Carolina, battling Chowan on September 5 and Mount Olive the next day.  The home and Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference opener is September 9 vs. reigning league-champion Philadelphia U.
 
GBC then plays four of its next six games on the road before entertaining Nyack on October 3 during Homecoming Weekend.  After playing two of its next three contests on the road, the Lightning end the regular season with four of their last five games at home.  Included in that is a match-up with co-regular-season champion Dominican (NY) on October 17.
 
The regular season concludes October 28 vs. Holy Family at Nancy Churchman Sawin Field.
 
The top eight teams compete in the CACC Tournament, which begins November 2.  The semifinals and final take place later that week in Waterbury, CT.
 
Goldey-Beacom (9-9, 6-6 CACC) had a tremendous campaign last season, just missing the conference tournament on a tiebreaker.  Highlighting the returnees is sophomore Fernando Sanchez (Madrid, Spain), who was picked CACC Rookie of the Year after totaling seven goals and five assists for 19 points.  His goals place him just three outside the College's career top-10 list.
 
Omar Hernandez (West Grove, PA) also had a great freshman season last year, closing with five goals and four assists for 14 points.  Another plus for the Lightning is the fact they return eight players who started at least 10 games a season ago.
 
Last year marked the first time since 2003 that Goldey-Beacom had nine overall wins and six league triumphs.  Last season also was highlighted by the program's 200th victory since the squad's reinstatement in 1990.
