College Soccer in New England
College Soccer in New England is among the most vibrant and competitve in the nation, with several nationally-ranked programs at all levels of the NCAA competing regularlay for national honors.
From the Universtity of Connecticut in Storrs, whose men's program is the most recent local team to win the division 1 College Cup, to the Franklin Pierce women from Rindge, NH, which has always been a power house at the division 2 level, the region boasts some of the finest collegiate soccer programs in the country.
We have the long and storied rivalries of Ivy League schools of Harvard, Yale, Brown and Dartmouth, and one team, Boston College, that plays in the ACC, the most competitive men's soccer conference in the nation.
And let's not forget division 3 where New England has the most teams, and where SNE's award-winning coverage has been the most appreciated. Wheaton, Williams, Amherst, Middlebury and Bowdoin have all made headlines in our magazine in recent years, and they represent just a handful of the dozens of excellent D3 programs we have in the region.
Players who have come up through the ranks of local colleges include Andy Dorman of the New England Revolution (BU), Bobby Rhine of FC Dallas (UConn), Brianna Scurry (UMass), Damani Ralph of FC Rubin Kazan in Russia (UConn) and Charlie Davies of Hammerby in Sweden (BC).
And for those with longer memories, how about Dan Callichman, a popular player who suited up for several MLS teams, including the Revs, who was a graduate of Williams.
There are dozens more, and we'll be covering them, and all aspects of the New England college scene in this part of the site.
