The official 2024 Women's Soccer schedule for the Seton Hall University Pirates
South Orange, N.J. — Seton Hall women's soccer will go up against their toughest slate in years this fall as the Pirates' 2024 schedule features five NCAA Tournament teams from last season.
Two of those five fixtures will come in the non-conference part schedule when Seton Hall travels to Princeton on August 29 before heading to Chapel Hill to take on North Carolina on Sept. 1. Both the Tigers and Tar Heels won games in the NCAA Tournament last season with North Carolina advancing to the quarterfinals.
The Pirates will open the season against Marist on August 16 at Owen T. Carroll Field before matches at FDU on August 18, against Lehigh at home on August 22 and at Rider on August 25. Following its road trips to Princeton and North Carolina, The Hall will face NJIT (Sept. 8), Lafayette (Sept. 12) and Yale (Sept. 15) before the start of BIG EAST play.
The league schedule kicks off with Villanova at Owen T. Carroll Field on Sept. 22 followed by road fixtures at Georgetown (Sept. 26) and St. John's (Sept. 29). After away matches at Xavier (Oct. 13) and DePaul (Oct. 17), the Pirates will return to South Orange on Oct. 20 as they host Butler on Senior Day. The Hall will play three of its final four games on its home pitch to close out the regular season against the Bulldogs (Oct. 20)
In year two under head coach Josh Osit, the Pirates registered their most BIG EAST points in a season since 2011 and finished with their second-most wins in a season since 2012. Natalie Tavana and Chiara Pucci made All-BIG EAST teams, which was the first time multiple Pirates received All-BIG EAST honors since 2013. Tavana was also named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, becoming the first Pirate to receive the honor since SHU Athletics Hall of Famer Kelly Smith won the award in 1999.
