Allen Community College’s soccer teams will move their home openers back a week in order to allow the ACC fields more time to be prepared for the rigors of the upcoming season.
The Red Devil men and women were slated to host Northern Oklahoma College Tuesday afternoon. Those matches will be rescheduled later in the season.
Crews have been working to prepare the turf, ACC women’s head coach Jeremy McGinnes said, and wanted another week to allow it to grow stronger.
After a pair of exhibition games, Allen’s teams will be at Miami, Okla., Sunday to take on Northeastern Oklahoma A&M for their 2013 season-openers. The women play at 2 p.m., the men at 4.
They travel to St. Louis Aug. 30 and Sept. 1 for games.
Allen’s home openers now will be Sept. 4 against Hesston.
