BOSTON, MASS. – Fisher College Head Men's Soccer Coach John Del Valle announced earlier today the 2022 schedule for the Falcons. The Men's program will be challenged this fall with a full 18-game schedule, including five contests against teams that competed in the national tournament last season. The year begins on September 1 and will hopefully conclude with a trip to the Continental Athletic Conference tournament in November.
"Every year we know that if we want to get to the conference tournament, we need to put together a challenging schedule." said Del Valle when asked about the 18-game slate. "This schedule will allow us to show the tournament committee that we belong in Georgia to compete for the conference title for the first time since 2016."
The Men's program, who will be under the sole direction of Del Valle for the first time since 2017, will get things started with seven consecutive road contests. The season opener will be at Nichols College on September 1, followed by a date at Lasell University (9/6) and the annual northern trip to the University of Maine-Fort Kent (9/10) and Maine-Presque Isle (9/11). The five state slate will finish up with a mid-week excursions to Rivier University in Nashua, N.H. (9/14) and Eastern Connecticut State University (9/20) with a Sunday afternoon trip to Northern Vermont University-Johnson (9/18).

Washington Adventist will invade the Boston area on October 23 to complete the home-and-home series. The Falcons will then wrap up the regular season with home dates against Plymouth State University (10/27) and Bryant & Stratton College-Albany (10/30).
