The soccer facility includes a state-of-the-art and FIFA-approved synthetic turf surface, improved lighting, new scoreboards and seating for 525 fans. The Black Bears had been playing their home games on the baseball field, Mahaney Diamond, since 2014. The surface is a dramatic departure from Mahaney Diamond, which has a much harder and faster surface. The Black Bears’ game against Bryant is their first since conference-opening 1-0 win at Albany on Sept. 21. The Black Bears were 11-0-7 dating back to a 1-0 loss to New Hampshire at Mahaney Diamond on Oct. 14, 2021.
