BC Men’s Soccer Announces 2020 Schedule
April 01, 2020Fresh off its first postseason appearance since 2016, the Brevard College Men’s Soccer program has released its upcoming schedule for the Fall 2020 season – a season that marks the program’s first as fully-eligible members of NCAA Division III. "I am excited about our schedule for 2020 for several reasons,” commented Head Coach Helio “L” D’Anna, who enters his second season at the helm of Brevard men’s soccer. “We have a good balance of home/away games, we avoided having back-to-back games as much as possible, and we have a good strength of schedule. Just as important, we are playing mainly DIII regional games and we are giving our kids a fair shot to qualify at large to the NCAA DIII postseason." D’Anna leads a Tornado team that is fresh off the program’s first playoff appearance since the 2016 SAC Men’s Soccer Tournament. Brevard’s 2019 team, following a 7-6-3 regular season that included a 7-3-3 mark in USA South Conference play, earned a bid into the 2019 ECAC Men’s Soccer Championships last season.
