UMass Men’s Soccer has their new home.
The Summit League will have 7 total MSOC teams next season (Denver [defeated UMass in Elite 8 this year], Kansas City, Omaha, Oral Roberts, St. Thomas, and Delaware).
So we are joining Delaware to the Summit.

Really? That's some travel budget.

A tick up in competition... nice! Though we just lost our best player.

Maybe this affiliation leads to UMass and Denver facing each other on the ice on a regular basis.

Being affiliated with Denver is a good move. Would love to see us play them more often in hockey!

And this is a good league, happy to see it. Happy to see Delaware in there with us as well.

Yeah, I don't get this at all. Especially for a non-revenue sport.
America East would have made a lot more sense.

Wonder what UMass will do with one of the best team leaving.

I was surprised to see we haven't beaten UConn since 1992. I know they have had good teams, but 34 years is a long freakin' time.

Always good to beat the sled dogs, especially when it'll knock them out of the rankings.

I saw the broadcast was on Midco Sports Plus and had the what the hell is that question. I guess it's because of how we're a Summit League affiliate now :roll:
