Toro fans, the fall 2006 schedules are now available. Be sure to follow the men’s soccer team as they look to defend their 2005 NCAA Far West Regional Title, the women’s soccer team as they look to capture the CCAA title after placing a runner-up finish last season, the retooled volleyball team under the leadership of new head coach Randy Cline and the cross country team as it welcomes back six runners who enjoyed their first season in Cardinal & Gold this past year.

The soccer teams, led by 2005 CCAA Men’s Soccer Coach of the Year Joe Flanagan, will kick off the season in the great northwest, taking on perennial powers Western Washington, Seattle Pacific and Seattle University over a five-day span before their home opener against Grand Canyon on Tuesday, September 5.

Following that non-conference match-up, CSUDH begins its CCAA schedule against Cal Poly Pomona on Friday, September 8, one of two home CCAA contests they enjoy before taking to the road for five-consecutive matches. The Toros return home to face new CCAA member Humboldt State on Friday, September 29 in the first of three home matches, before two road games at Cal State San Bernardino and Cal Poly Pomona in early October. CSUDH then hosts Cal State Bakersfield before Cal State L.A. visits Carson on Sunday, October 15, the final home game for the 2006 seniors.

The Toros conclude their regular season with a northern California road trip, before the conference tournament begins October 27, one week before the NCAA Far West Regionals.

After two scrimmages, the Toros kick off their 2006 volleyball season at the UC San Diego Invitational, where they will face five schools in a three-day stretch. CSUDH begins its home schedule on Wednesday, August 30, in a match-up with Armstrong Atlantic University, before taking to the road the first weekend of September.

Chico State and Cal State Stanislaus visit Carson on September 8-9, respectively, before the Toros again travel for four-consecutive matches. CSUDH then hosts eight of its next 10 matches over the next month, including Cal State Monterey Bay on Friday, October 27 for Senior Day, before winding up the regular season at Sonoma State and Humboldt State the weekend of November 3-4.

The cross-country squad opens its season at the Cal State Fullerton Titan Opener on September 2 and at the UC Irvine Steve Scott Invitational on September 9, before taking one week off to prepare for four-consecutive Saturdays of competition, followed by the UC San Diego-hosted CCAA Championships on Saturday, October 21. The NCAA Regionals follow two weeks later in Chico, before the NCAA Championships conclude the cross-country season on Saturday, November 18, in Pensacola, Florida, as part of the NCAA Fall Sports Festival.
