WASHINGTON, Pa. -- The Washington & Jefferson College men's soccer schedule for the 2023 season has been announced. The Presidents have a 16-game regular season that features 11 home matches at Alexandre Stadium. 

W&J opens its season with five-straight home games. The Presidents will face Marietta (Sept. 3), Hiram (Sept. 6), Mount Union (Sept. 9), Carnegie Mellon (Sept. 13) and Penn State Altoona (Sept. 16) consecutively to commence the 2023 slate at Alexandre Stadium. 

Three of the first four conference matches will take place on the road. The Presidents take to the road to open Presidents' Athletic Conference play against Thiel on Sept. 20. After hosting Saint Vincent on Sept. 23, W&J heads to Chatham (Sept. 27) and Allegheny (Sept. 30). 

A busy homecoming week features a pair of conference home matches. W&J welcomes Waynesburg on Oct. 4 before entertaining Franciscan on Oct. 7 for homecoming. W&J wraps up its non-conference slate when Penn State Harrisburg visits on Oct. 10. 

The Presidents travels to league rival Geneva on Oct. 14 before hosting Westminster (Oct. 18) and Bethany (Oct. 21) to close out its home portion of the regular season. W&J is at Grove City for a conference match on Oct. 25 which will conclude the 2023 regular season schedule. 

W&J will be looking to earn a berth to the six-team PAC Championship Tournament for the first time since winning back-to-back conference titles in 2019 and the spring of 2021. The Presidents finished 2022 with a 6-8-2 overall record and a 3-5-2 league mark. Rising junior goalkeeper Charles Boldosser (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) and rising sophomore Ethan Bowser (McKeesport, Pa./Elizabeth Forward) both are slated to return after earning All-PAC laurels last fall. The Presidents will be longtime taskmaster Ian McDonald, who enters his 33rd season guiding the Red and Black as head coach.
