Women's Soccer 2021-22 Year In Review

The Daemen women's soccer team enjoyed another successful season in 2021, posting a 9-6-1 overall record and a 7-1-1 mark in East Coast Conference play while returning to the postseason for the third time since 2018. It also marked somewhat of a return to normalcy for the program. While COVID-19 precautions persisted, the Wildcats were able to complete a full schedule after the pandemic forced their 2020 season to be shortened and played in the spring of 2021.
