U CF SO CCE R A ND T R A C K C O M P L E X The inaugural American Athletic Conference Women’s Soccer Championship will be played at the UCF Soccer andTrack Complex in Orlando, Fla. on Nov. 8 and 10. “We’re excited about hosting the first-ever American Athletic Conference women’s soccer championship,” says UCF Director of Athletics Todd Stansbury. “The UCF Soccer Complex has been host to numerous NCAA and conference postseason events in the past and we’re happy to welcome our American Athletic Conference colleagues for the semifinals and finals this November. The UCF Soccer Complex has a top-notch playing surface for the teams and plenty of great seats for fans. It should be a wonderful event.” The UCF Soccer and Track Complex serves as home for the Knights’ men’s and women’s soccer and women’s track and field programs. The facility, originally built in 1991, was re-opened in May 2011 following the construction of a grandstand seating facility on the west side. Surrounding one of the top pitches in all of college soccer is an eight-lane, 400-meter track featuring a Martin Surface that was refurbished in the summer of 2004. In 2008, an expanded throwing area for the hammer, discus and shotput was also added to the complex. Both long jump and triple jump pits were rebuilt prior to the 2008 season. A new grandstand section, along with on-site restrooms, was added in the most recent phase of construction. The grandstand brought an additional 1,475 seats, bringing the total capacity to more than 2,000 for the entire complex. The new press box comfortably sits media members along with event and department staffs. Fans also enjoy a new sound system that helps improve the game day atmosphere. The men’s and women’s soccer teams also have access to the soccer practice field, located northeast of the UCF Soccer andTrack Complex and just outside IOA Plaza of Bright House Networks Stadium. Up-to-date information regarding the 2013 American Athletic Conference Men’s Soccer Championship will be available through Championship Central (www.theamerican.org.) Media credentials can be obtained through emailing merbes@theamerican.org. Quick Facts • Cost was roughly $1.2 million • New stands with seating capacity for 1,475 fans, bringing total complex capacity to over 2,000 • New press box with sound system • Permanent restroom facilities on site • New fencing around entire complex • New main entranceway with ornamental fencing and brick pillars with UCF logos

AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Not entirely unlike the nation that provides its namesake, the American Athletic Conference was born from an ideal in which members with ambitious goals are provided with the means to succeed in their quests for excellence.

In its inaugural year, The American is fortunate to be able to draw from the previous successes and traditions already established in its 10 inaugural women’s soccer programs.

With roots that extend to three conferences, the American Athletic Conference membership in 2013 – its debut season – consists of 10 institutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Louisville, the University of Memphis, Rutgers University, Southern Methodist University, the University of South Florida and Temple University. All members sponsor women’s soccer, making 2013-14 a ten-member league for the sport. In 2014-15, East Carolina University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa come aboard. The 2015-16 season sees the U.S. Naval Academy join the ranks in football only. The American, which operated as the Big East Conference from 1979 to 2013, will immediately take a place at the forefront of Division I athletics, with schools that have played in a combined five Bowl Championship Series games, won four NCAA men’s basketball titles since 1999, and won eight NCAA women’s basketball championships since 1995.

Two programs, UCF and Rutgers, advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championship in 2012. UCF advanced after winning the 2012 Conference USA Championship. Seven teams finished last season ranked in the top 100 of the final NCAA RPI rankings, with six of the seven in the top 64. UCF closed out 2012 at No. 20 and enters 2013 at No. 21, while Louisville finished No. 40 with Rutgers right behind at No. 41. USF checked in at No. 51, UConn at No. 60 and SMU at No. 63. The league will add two more top-tier programs to the group in the fall of 2014 in Tulsa and East Carolina. Tulsa finished runner-up to UCF in the 2012 Conference USA tournament, while East Carolina also capped a top-100 RPI ranking last season. The state-of-the-art UCF Soccer and Track Complex will host the first American Athletic Conference Women’s Soccer Championship on Nov. 8 (semifinals) and 10 (finals). First round and quarterfinal games will be held at campus sites on Oct. 31 and Nov. 3.

The 2013 season will mark the final year of a six-year arrangement with ESPN that gives The American national exposure on ABC television and the ESPN family of networks. ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC will carry a minimum of 19 American home football games each season. Championship Week in December includes three American games on either ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. At least four American games are featured on ESPN’s Thursday-night package. In addition, ESPN Regional Television will continue to produce and distribute its Game of the Week package to a nationally syndicated audience, reaching more than 30 million homes. Most of these games also will be available as part of the ESPN GamePlan subscription service. Finally, a minimum of five home games will be carried on ESPNU.
