Following an historic Northeast Conference (NEC) tournament victory, Howard women’s soccer is preparing to play the first-seeded team in the nation, Duke University, on Nov. 15. The Bison defeated Fairleigh Dickinson University in the NEC Championship game on Nov. 10, clinching their first conference title since joining the NEC in 2021.
After beginning the season with a record of 2-4-4 in their first 10 games, the Bison would not lose a game for the remainder of the season.
