The 2023 Hawai’i Hilo men’s soccer schedule will have 16 games on tap in the fall, featuring a six-match home stand at the tail end of Vulcans head coach Garrett Estrin‘s second season.
Following a season-opening exhibition match set for Aug. 23 against Multnomah University, the Vulcans will hop over to O’ahu for two contests before returning for their first official home game against San Francisco State on Sept. 10.
Highlighting the non-conference slate will be a Sept. 16 matchup in Carson, California against Estrin’s alma mater CSU Dominguez Hills. The Toros finished last season as California Collegiate Athletic Association runner-up and made a short post-season run to the National Collegiate Athletic Association Super Regional 4 Third Round.

The PacWest schedule will also feature conference newcomer Westmont College, who went 9-5-2 in National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics play last season with a finish in the Golden Sun Athletic Conference Tournament.
