MARTINSVILLE, VA -- Fresh off a Region 10 championship, the Patrick & Henry men's soccer team has released its schedule for the 2023 fall season which features 14 regular season contests along with four exhibition contests.

Under head coach Brennan Murphy, the schedule is broken down into nine non-conference matches and five conference matches.

"Our coaching staff is extremely excited for this group of incoming student-athletes and the core group of returners that we have from last season," said Murphy. "It will be a decisive rebuilding year as we replace a lot of valuable character and experience, however we are truly excited to see who rises to the occasion. It is an extremely tough out-of-conference schedule and as always, a gauntlet in Region 10. We are just really excited and motivated for the season to come."
