CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel women's soccer team will begin a four-game road swing this weekend as they travel to Southern Conference foes Chattanooga and Samford.
 
"This is another great opportunity for us to challenge this weekend and learn more about ourselves on the road," The Citadel head coach Ciaran Traquair said. "There are no easy games in the conference but we will go in with the belief and right attitude to try and win. The girls trained really well yesterday and are looking forward to competing again this weekend."
 
After getting off to the best start in program history, the Bulldogs are now halfway through the 2016 season.
