The Wildcats have won two straight conference championships.
BOSTON - The two-time defending University of New Hampshire men's soccer team has been selected first in the America East Preseason Poll. The voting was conducted by the conference's nine head coaches, who were not permitted to vote for their own teams.
The Wildcats went 15-2-3 (5-1-1 AE) in 2019, posting the best winning percentage in program history and tying the school record for wins. The Wildcats won the America East Co-Regular Season championship, earning the title for only the second time in program history.
UNH then captured its second straight America East Tournament championship, qualifying for the NCAA Tournament for the third straight season. The 1-0 win over Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round was the second time in the last three years the Wildcats have won a NCAA Tournament game.
In 2018 the Wildcats went 12-4-2 (4-2-1 America East) and won their first-ever America East Tournament championship. UNH also qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season.
UNH is scheduled to open the season on Friday, Feb. 26 at UMass Lowell.
