OREM—Utah Valley University women's soccer head coach Chris Lemay has released his team's 2022 schedule which features five non-conference home games highlighted by a Sept. 6 matchup against SEC foe Alabama at Clyde Field and a UCCU CrossTown Clash game at NCAA Tournament finalist BYU on Sept. 10.  
 
"We continually work hard to provide our players the most competitive environment in our non-conference segment of the fall schedule in hopes to best prepare them for WAC play," said Lemay. "We are looking forward to hosting so many quality opponents at home on Clyde Field. The local soccer community and our UVU students continue to make Clyde one of the best women's college atmospheres in the country and we take pride in putting a great product on the pitch that they can be proud to cheer on. BYU is always a schedule headliner, and this upcoming fall will be even more exciting, to have an opportunity to compete with last year's NCAA finalists will be a challenge that we look forward to."
