Eastern soccer stumbles on road at Montana Cup

The Eastern Washington University soccer team continues their longest road swing of the season with a trip to New York this week.

The first game will be at Hofstra University (1-2-1) in Hempstead, N.Y. on Aug. 31 at 4 p.m., followed by a matchup on Sept. 3 at Cornell (0-0-0) in Ithaca, N.Y. at 8:30 a.m. This is the first time the Eagles will compete against either teams in program history and the matches wrap up EWU’s longest road trip of the season.

After opening the season with two wins at home, the Eagles took their first road trip of the season to the Montana Cup and went winless 0-2 on the weekend. With the losses, EWU falls to 2-2-0.

EWU fell to San Jose State 3-0 on Aug. 25 and then lost to Air Force 3-1 on Aug. 27. Senior Alexis Stephenson was the lone Eagle to score during the two outings with a goal against Air Force.


Hofstra is 1-2-1 while Cornell opens its season on Aug. 31 at Syracuse before playing host to Eastern.

On Sept. 8, the Eagles return home for the first time in two weeks to play host to local foe Gonzaga at 3:30 p.m. This match opens a stretch of seven straight home games for Eastern. They host Cal State Northridge on Sunday (Sept. 10).
