TOLEDO, Ohio - The Toledo women's soccer team will travel to West Lafayette, Ind. to take on Purdue on Sunday, Aug. 25. The match is set to begin at 1 p.m. at Folk Field.

"Purdue is a strong Big Ten team and they will be a good challenge for our players," said head coach TJ Buchholz. "We will need to be more effective on the offensive side of the ball if we want to win on Sunday."

Following Sunday's match, the Rockets will host their first home game on Thursday, Aug. 29, as the Rockets welcome UIC in the debut contest at Paul Hotmer Field. This will be the first time the Rockets will have played on the main campus since the 1996 season, following 22 seasons at Scott Park
