*Home Games are in Bold Print

To kick off the season, the Panthers will be flying to Grand Valley State University in Michigan to play the Division II Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletics team. GVSU lost to the Adelphi Panthers 5-22 in the 2013 season. However, they finished strong with 11 straight wins, finishing with a 13-5 record for 2013. 

Just 8 days later, the Panthers will travel to Missouri to Lindenwood University to play the NCAA newbies. Adelphi also beat Lindenwood in the 2013 season, only losing by six, final score of 12-18. This was one of the Panther's closest games in the 2013 season, and are looking forward to the challenge of playing the Lions again. 

After the 2013 season, Merrimack College and Philadelphia ended up ranked 24 and 25 respectively.

March 17th will be the first time the Adelphi Panthers play St. Thomas Aquinas. The #33 ranked team will play the #2 ranked team at the Panthers home field, Motamed Field.

Towards the middle of the season, the Panthers will play against both Stonehill and New Haven, who in the past have been challenging games for them. In the 2012 season, Adelphi only beat Stonehill by 1 in the final minutes of the North-east 10 tournament. Similarly in the 2012 season, the Panthers only beat New Haven by 2. In 2013, Adelphi beat Stonehill and New Haven 12-5 and 14-9 respectively. 

LeMoyne college, considered one of Adelphi's toughest games each season, will most likely be another one. The Panthers lost two out of the three times they played the Dolphins last season. The first two games, the Dolphins won by 2, 13-11 and 8-6. It was not until the outer-bracket game of the NCAA's that the Panthers beat LeMoyne by 1 in the final minute of the game, finishing 9-8. 

As aforementioned in previous posts, the Panthers ultimate goal is to first reach the Final 4, and then go home with a National Title. Though there seems to be a lot of time before the clock starts on their first game, the Panthers will train tirelessly in the off-season and preseason to reach their final goal.
