FORT MYERS, Fla. – The start of the 2014 FGCU women's soccer season has been delayed as a result of inclement weather and will now have to wait until Sunday to get underway. The game with nationally ranked UCF will be postponed and will be rescheduled if both teams mutually agree on a date later this season.

Lightning was sighted in the area shortly before the 7 p.m. kick off and multiple delays followed as the weather worsened before the decision was made to postpone the contest. The Eagles will look to begin their season on Sunday at 1 p.m. opposite the Arizona Wildcats at the FGCU Soccer Complex.

WHAT'S NEXT?
FGCU hits the road for the first time in 2014 with a trip to Coral Gables, Fla. for a date with the Miami Hurricanes on Aug. 29. Miami closed last season with a 9-8-1 record and did not qualify for the ACC Tournament. These two programs have met three times; most recently in 2011 and FGCU has yet to claim a result. 

From Miami the Eagles will travel to Tampa, Fla. to square off with USF for the first time in the regular season on Aug. 31. These two programs have met several times in exhibition fashion but never in the regular season. The Bulls closed out 2013 with a 10-4-7 record and a double-overtime, penalty kick loss to UCF in the semifinals of the American Conference Tournament.
