AUSTIN, Texas -- The University of Texas women's soccer team will play 19 regular season matches and one exhibition contest, according to the 2009 schedule released on Wednesday. The 2009 slate is highlighted by seven contests against teams that advanced to the 2008 NCAA Championship and 12 home matches, the most in the 15-year history of the program.

Head Coach Chris Petrucelli , who enters his 11th year at Texas, and the Longhorns will face California, Washington State, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Colorado and Texas A&M, all of which participated in last year's NCAA Tournament. UT will also take on two-time defending SEC Western Division Champion, Louisiana State (Aug. 14), in an exhibition match. 

"The schedule is tough and it will be difficult for a young team," Petrucelli assessed. "I feel like we are putting ourselves in situations where if we play well, we will have chances to win every game, but every game will be a challenge." more
