Who are the top women's soccer players to watch this season?

As Hurricane Florence hits the Carolinas, men's and women's college soccer teams have made changes to this week's game schedules to keep their players and fans safe.

Here are the games that will be canceled, moved to an earlier time or postponed until the weather system passes:

Men's soccer

No. 1 Wake Forest v. No. 16 Virginia Tech- Moved to Friday at 5:30 p.m. 

No. 16 Virginia Tech will still have a chance to take on the No. 1- ranked Demon Deacons this Friday, despite threats of Hurricane Florence. The game has been moved to 5:30 p.m. in an effort to avoid any dangerous weather. 

VMI vs. Campbell — Moved to Wednesday at 5 p.m.

Wednesday’s game between VMI and Campbell, originally scheduled for 7 p.m., has been moved to 5 p.m. due to threats of inclement weather from Hurricane Florence. Rain is expected to start in central North Carolina early Wednesday morning. The Keydets will travel down to face Campbell in Buies Creek, North Carolina for the start of their five-game road trip that will conclude with a matchup against Howard in Washington, D.C. at the end of the month. 

UNC vs. Duke — Postponed 

The Duke-UNC in-state rivalry soccer game is one of ten home Duke events to be postponed because of Hurricane Florence. The two teams have not released a makeup date. The Tar Heels will stay in-state for their next game, taking on UNC-Greensboro on Sept. 18, while Duke will welcome Georgetown University to Durham on that same day. 

NC State vs. Pittsburgh — Postponed

Due to expected storms resulting from Hurricane Florence, the Wolfpack will not travel up to Pittsburgh for Friday’s now-postponed game between the two ACC teams. No. 18 N.C. State has announced that it plans to work with Pittsburgh to find an alternative date for the match. 

UVA vs. Notre Dame — Postponed

In what would have a been a competitive match-up between two Top 25 teams, the game between No. 19 Virginia and No. 8 Notre Dame has been postponed to a later day due to Hurricane Florence. Storms are expected to come through Virginia Thursday night, and though Indiana should be spared from major storm damage, most UVA athletic events have been cancelled due to unsafe travel conditions and severe weather threats. 

William & Mary vs. Charleston — Postponed 

The University of William and Mary and the College of Charleston both closed their respective campuses starting September 11 in preparation for Hurricane Florence, and all of their athletic events, including Friday’s men’s soccer game, have been postponed. The Tribe will be back in action on Monday, September 17 at the University of Maryland. Charleston’s next game will be at home against North Florida on September 19.

Campbell vs. Navy — Cancelled

After moving Wednesday’s game against VMI to 5 p.m., Campbell University made the decision to postpone Sunday’s game against Navy because of the impending storm. The Camels will play next on Sept. 22 at Radford. Annapolis faces less of a threat from Florence than the Carolinas, but weather reports do suggest that the area could face flooding. Navy will not play again until Sept. 23 when the Midshipmen take on conference opponent Holy Cross in Massachusetts. 

Coastal Carolina vs. George Mason — Canceled

Coastal Carolina cancelled its Tuesday match against Radford, and the Chanticleers will also not play George Mason on Sunday afternoon because of the Hurricane Florence. A new date for the game has not been announced. South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has issued a state of emergency for the state, ordering citizens to evacuate. 

Presbyterian vs. Georgia State- Moved to Friday at 1 p.m. 

With Hurricane Florence expected to hit South Carolina Friday, the Blue Hose have agreed with Georgia State to reschedule the game for Friday at 1 p.m. instead of Saturday. This will allow the team to travel out of South Carolina before the roads become too dangerous. The game will be played at GSU's soccer complex in Atlanta.

UNCW vs. Northeastern — Postponed 

The Seahawks will not travel to Northeastern for Saturday’s men’s soccer game, and while the game has been postponed, a makeup date has not been announced. The two CAA teams met at the end of last season, with UNCW prevailing 1-0.
