AWC - 2007 Soccer Schedule Released

(SNSW) Yuma, Arizona - Arizona Western College has announced that the 2007 AWC Soccer schedule has been released. The team that has hosted playoff games in back-to-back seasons for the first time in the history of the program will host nine Matador home games and nine road games as part of the 18-game regular season schedule. The schedule was released just 26 days before the start of preseason soccer camp.

The Mats’ schedule begins with two straight road games as the Mats travel to the Phoenix area twice for contests against Glendale on Saturday, August 25^th before getting their first chance at revenge against the team that eliminated AWC from last year’s Region I Playoffs, the Mesa Thunderbirds, on August 29^th. The Mats then return to Yuma for their home opener Saturday, September 1^st against Chandler-Gilbert, and then will host Pima on September 5^th. That’s the last chance the home fans will have to see the Matadors for 17 days as AWC gets four tough conference road games in a row: South Mountain (September 8^th), 7-time defending Region I Champion Yavapai (September 12^th), Paradise Valley (September 15^th) and Scottsdale (September 19^th). After that, the schedule gets much more fan-friendly as the Mats will host two long homestands, one lasting three games (Phoenix September 22^nd, Glendale September 25^th and Mesa September 29^th); and one lasting four games (South Mountain October 8^th, Yavapai October 10^th, Paradise Valley October 13^th and the regular season home finale against Scottsdale October 17^th). The Mats finish out the regular season on the road at Hoy Field October 20^th against Phoenix College. All home games will be played at the AWC Soccer Field on the AWC campus, and will kick off at 6PM. Admission to all regular season home soccer games is FREE.

The Matadors will try to make their 3^rdstraight appearance in the Region I Playoffs, which will begin October 23^rd at sites and times to be determined. The Matadors finished the regular season in 3^rd place in the ACCAC with a 13-6 record overall and a 12-6 conference mark-the most conference wins ever by an AWC Soccer squad. The marks were good enough to earn the Matadors the 3^rd seed in the 2005 Region I Playoffs and the right to host a playoff game for the second time in as many seasons.
