As of now the plan is to play eight matches in eight weeks along with a SEC tournament at the end of season(see statement below from the SEC officials).
Really exciting to hear that the NCAA granted all fall sports an extra year of eligibility. If the roster can remain intact from this season to the 2021 season, then I really think South Carolina has a chance at winning the Women's College Cup.
The 2020 SEC soccer season will consist of an eight-match, Conference-only regular season over eight weeks of competition beginning September 18, followed by the SEC Championship, November 13-22, in Orange Beach, Alabama. All 14 schools will compete in the SEC Championship with each team guaranteed at least two matches.
"We are all excited to hear the news and to have some certainty," South Carolina women's soccer head coach Shelley Smith said. "We have been preparing to play and to now know the work we have been putting in will be able to be tested is great. We are looking forward to getting on the field and playing against our conference opponents."
