SEATTLE -- The Seattle Pacific women's soccer team embarks on an ambitious five-game spring schedule during the month of April and first day of May. Three of the games are against NCAA Division I opponents.

The spring slate begins at home on Saturday, April 10 against Trinity Western University. Kick-off is 2 p.m. at Interbay Stadium, where the Falcons will play two other spring contests.

SPU concludes the spring session with a pair of home games, on Wednesday, April 28 at 7 p.m. against the Seattle Sounders Women and Saturday, May 1 at 3 p.m. against Oregon State.

The home games sandwich a pair of road outings. The Falcons visit Portland State on Saturday, April 17 at 3 p.m. On Wednesday, April 21 the SPU women travel across town to meet Washington at Husky Soccer Field. That game starts at 7 p.m.

The spring schedule prepares the Falcons for the upcoming fall campaign. Last season, SPU won the Great Northwest Athletic Conference championship with a 9-2-1 record. The Falcons, who were ranked No. 1 for six weeks, registered a 16-3-2 record in 2009 and participated in the NCAA Division II Tournament for the seventh straight season.

Coach Chuck Sekyra directed SPU to the 2008 national championship and three Final Four berths in the last five years.
