The nationally ranked University of Delaware men’s soccer team faces a pair of major tests out west this weekend.
The Blue Hens, who sit at #11 in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll, face two ranked opponents in a 48 hour span.
UD meets 15th ranked Cal Friday at 6:30, then tangles with number 24 Stanford Sunday
The Hens are currently 6-0, matching the best start in team history, but have a spotty history against top competition.
Since 1999, the Blue Hens are 4-10-1 against ranked teams , but did knock off #7 William & Mary last year in their most recent contest against a ranked opponent.
This weekend’s games with Cal and Stanford mark the first time in program history that UD will face ranked opponents in back-to-back games.
