WILLIAMSBURG — As the College of William & Mary kicks off the fall semester, so too does Tribe Athletics. Here is what is on schedule for the next week.
Women’s Soccer – The Tribe lost a close match to Virginia Tech 1-0 on Sunday, Aug. 22. Sophomore goalkeeper Grace Lemley had a career high five saves. The one that got by was a header off corner kick at the 50 minute mark.
