Angelina College Soccer Teams Release Upcoming Season Schedule
Angelina College’s beautiful soccer complex is about to get extremely busy.
AC’s soccer teams have released their schedules for the upcoming 2024 season, and both the Lady Roadrunners and Roadrunners will combine for at least 12 home dates with at least six doubleheaders, with more home matches possible according to postseason seedings.
AC’s ladies, under first-year head coach Sergio Gardea, have put together a grueling schedule for the pre-season, the non-conference season and the conference season.
The Lady ‘Runners open the pre-season with a pair of home scrimmages on Wednesday, Aug. 7 (vs. LSU-Shreveport) and on Saturday, August 10 (vs. Brookhaven College). Kickoff times are 6 p.m. on Aug. 7, while the Aug. 10th match kickoff time is TBA.
The Lady Roadrunners open the regular season on Aug. 22 at Miami Dade College in Miami before opening conference play at 5 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 30 against Northeast Texas Community College as part of a women’s/men’s home doubleheader.
The Roadrunner men are looking for a “three-peat” after qualifying for the NJCAA Division I National Tournament in 2023, marking the first time an Angelina College athletics program has participated in back-to-back national tournaments.
AC’s men, led by reigning Region XIV District Coach of the Year Martin Melchor, kick off the pre-season with a trio of road scrimmages (at Dallas College-Mountain View on Aug. 13, at Jarvis College on Aug. 18 and at UT-Tyler on Aug. 21) before hosting back-to-back scrimmages at home. AC hosts Texas A&M San Antonio at 4 p.m. on Aug. 24 and Western Texas at 6 p.m. on Aug. 27.
The ‘Runners then kick off the regular season as part of a women’s/men’s conference doubleheader against Northeast Texas Community College on Friday, Aug. 30.
The Lady Roadrunners will compete in Region XIV’s South Zone (featuring Blinn College, Jacksonville College and UT-Southmost College), while the men’s South Zone competition includes Blinn College, Jacksonville College, Coastal Bend Community College and UT-Southmost.
The Region XIV/District Tournament takes place from Oct. 24 through Nov. 1, and the 2024 NJCAA Division I National Tournament (for both men and women) takes place Nov. 17-23 at the Stryker Sports Complex in Wichita, Kansas.
All AC Soccer home games will be live-streamed on TSBN Sports (a free streaming service for fans), with most of the conference road games also available for streaming.
