Tiffin University's men's soccer team will battle three non-conference foes along with 14 conference matchups, as the team announced its 2018 fall schedule.

The Dragons, who posted an 8-7-3 mark in 2017, will enter the Great Midwest Athletic Conference in 2018 and will battle many long time opponents as well as more recent regional foes. The team opens at home on Aug. 30 with a game against Slippery Rock before taking to the road to take on Illinois Springfield.

G-MAC play begins on Sept. 4 with a road trip to Cedarville before coming home on Sept. 6 to face Lake Erie. The Dragons' final non-conference game is on Sept. 9 when they tangle with GLIAC standout Saginaw Valley State on the road.

TU has three more home contests in September. They tangle with Trevecca Nazarene on Sept. 12, then travel to Kentucky Wesleyan for a Sept. 15 tiff. Returning home briefly on Sept. 20 to face Cedarville again, TU then hits the road for two G-MAC showdowns on Sept. 22 at Ohio Dominican and Sept. 27 at Walsh. They finish the month at home on Sept. 29 vs. Malone.

TU opens October with three road contests. They travel to Davis & Elkins on Oct. 4, Alderson Broaddus on Oct. 6, and Findlay on Oct. 13. They then finish the regular season at home with three games - Oct. 18 vs. Davis & Elkins, Oct. 20 vs. Ohio Valley, and the regular season finale on Oct. 23 against the Oilers of Findlay.
