BEVERLY, MA - Endicott College will open the NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Tournament with a first round match-up against Oneonta State on Saturday, November 10th on the campus of Western Connecticut State University.

One-year removed from its "Sweet 16" NCAA Tournament run, Endicott will return to the national stage on Saturday.
