ANDERSON, S.C. - Anderson University head women's soccer coach Samar Azem has announced the Trojans' spring schedule, which includes a scrimmage versus women's soccer alumni.

Azem is planning on making the alumni event an annual tradition at Trojan Stadium on AU's athletic campus. This year's scrimmage is scheduled for Saturday, March 2, with kick-off slated for 2 p.m. Following the game, a catered meal will be served at the athletic campus.

Invitations have been mailed to all alumni with more information and the women's soccer program asks that alumni start making plans to attend this memorable event!

"I am excited to begin what we hope will be a lifelong annual tradition for Anderson University women's soccer of bringing our alumni and current players together," said Azem. "Our alumni have established a framework with which we can develop our program forward and we hope that we can give back to them as well as include them in our very exciting future. This is their home and we want to have something special for them to come back to."
