SPARTANBURG, SC- Home matches against non-conerence foes Montreat, Columbia, and North Greenville along with conference matches against Barton and Queens highlight the 2010 schedule, announced by fourth year head coach Rob DePaol.
"We will play some solid competition this year both in and out of the conference," said DePaol. "We are putting ourselves in a position to be tested early on in the schedule, and our team will benefit from that."
