College Soccer in New England

Some of the most vibrant and competitve college soccer in the nation takes place in New England. From UConn and Boston College to Franklin Pierce, Williams and beyond, the region boasts some of the finest collegiate soccer programs in the country.

There are the long and storied rivalries of Ivy League schools, and Boston College plays in the ACC, the most competitive soccer conference in the nation. Division II Franklin Pierce has long been a power in the second division, while New England has the most teams in DIII. Teams like Wheaton, Williams, Amherst, Middlebury and Bowdoin have all made headlines, representing just a handful of the dozens of excellent DIII programs in the region. We try to keep track of New England schools and players competing in the NAIA, USCAA, NJCAA and NCCAA, too.

Many professional players who have come through local colleges, including former Rev Andy Dorman (BU), the late Bobby Rhine of FC Dallas (UConn), Brianna Scurry (UMass) and Charlie Davies (BC).

We cover all aspects of the New England college scene in this part of the site.
