On a comfortably warm September Sunday, the DePaul women’s soccer team tore apart the Tribe of William and Mary 4-0, drawing their record to 4-4 and leading them to their last game of the non-conference schedule. After their match against Loyola, it will be on to competing in one of the tougher soccer conferences in the NCAA. This season, the Big East features two teams in the top 25 (United Soccer Coaches Poll) and one more receiving votes. To defend their share of the regular season Big East title, the team will need to play its best.
The best way to prepare for tough teams is to play tough teams, something head coach Erin Chastain was sure to work into the schedule.
