All six Webster University Athletics fall sports teams start their seasons this week. Men's and women's cross country, men's golf, men's and women's soccer, and women's volleyball all jump into action. Five of the teams have matches on September 1, with women's soccer taking the field for the first time on September 4.
Both soccer squads and women's volleyball will be hoping to repeat as St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament championships, a trifecta that was accomplished on November 7, 2009.

Women's Volleyball - They have the privilege of being the first to open at home, hosting the St. Louis College of Pharmacy Eutectics on September 1 at 7:00 pm, and are right back at home on September 3 at 4 & 8 pm vs. Simpson College (IA) and Illinois College.
Men's Soccer - Open at Washington University at 7 pm on September 1, then hit the road for a pair of games in the Greg Volgas Memorial Classic in Memphis, TN. The Gorloks face Millsaps College (MS) on September 4 at 2 pm and host Rhodes College on September 5 at 4 pm.
