Head Coach Joshua Smith from the Eastern New Mexico women’s soccer team has officially announced the release of the Greyhounds schedule for the 2019 season.
Coming off one of the most successful seasons in program history and appearing the program’s first ever Lone Star Conference Championship game, the Hounds have big aspirations for the upcoming season.
“We are excited about our fall schedule,” said Smith. “It should provide the challenge we need to prepare us for our extremely competitive conference. With us bringing in a large class, we will look to acclimate everyone quickly so that we can once again compete well in the LSC. This fall should prove to be an exciting season!”
