DURHAM, N.H. — Eight NCAA Division I Men's Soccer programs introduced the inaugural Northeast Spring Cup (NSC), a premier spring-season men's soccer event featuring the region's most competitive programs. The NSC will bring together UNH, Boston College, Boston University, UConn, Providence, UMass, Bryant and Vermont for a multi-day showcase of NCAA Division I men's soccer at venues throughout New England.
 
The NSC is designed to celebrate the strength of men's soccer in the New England region while providing student-athletes with high-level, non-conference competition during the spring semester.
 
"The Spring Cup raises the standard of our spring season by ensuring meaningful competition against the top programs in our region," said Head Coach Adrian Dubois. "It accelerates both team and individual development while reinforcing our competitive culture."
 
The eight participating institutions represent a mix of national NCAA Tournament regulars and longstanding regional rivals from the ACC, America East, Big East, Patriot League and Summit League. These programs have combined for four national championships, 110 NCAA tournament appearances and 33 conference titles.
 
The Northeast Spring Cup is expected to draw college soccer fans from throughout New England and beyond. Teams will be divided into groups of four, with a North and South Region. During group play, each team will play each of its division opponents for a total of three matches. The top team from each group will advance to the championship final, which will be held at a neutral location. All remaining teams will play a fourth match to determine third place through eighth place.
