After further review, the America East Conference announced on Monday that the UMBC women's soccer team has clinched a berth in the upcoming six-team conference tournament.
"Qualifying for the America East Championship playoffs for the first time since 2015 is a tremendous accomplishment for our program," said UMBC head coach
Rick Stainton. "This is something we have been working toward and building over the past few years, and I couldn't be more proud of our student-athletes and staff for their commitment, belief, and hard work. It's incredibly rewarding to see that dedication pay off. We're excited about this opportunity, but we're not satisfied. We look forward to building on our success and making the most of what's ahead. Go Dawgs!"
The Retrievers can finish anywhere from #2 to #6 as they enter their season finale this Sunday afternoon against Maine at Retriever Soccer Park.
The tournament will begin Thursday, November 5.
