Kentucky men’s soccer and the value of strong non-conference scheduling

Kentucky men’s soccer (1–0–1) took on the Virginia Tech Hokies (2–0–1) on Monday, Sept. 2, in a match that resulted in a 2-2 draw.

While many teams across multiple different sports like to start their seasons with easier opponents to help build confidence, UK head coach Johan Cedergren opted to take a different approach.

The Wildcats have now played two non-conference teams to start their season. Both Virginia Tech and the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles entered The Bell undefeated.
