HAMPTON, Virginia -- From the start, way back when in 2013, it was the expressed goal. An auspicious one, to be sure. But maybe, in another five or 10 years, it would become reality.No one, not even the biggest optimist of the bunch, expected to be here only two years later.
This past May, Hampton University announced the addition of women's soccer to its varsity sports effective the fall of 2015. That gave everyone — the coaches and players on HU's club team along with administrators and staff — three months to prepare.
The Pirates' first match will be Friday against Canisius on Christopher Newport's home field. It will be HU's only "home" game this season. The remaining nine, as well as a four-team tournament of independents, will be on the road.
