Alfred Cup competition continues September 10 as Saxon women’s soccer team hosts Alfred State

The Alfred Cup, an annual year-long competition between varsity sports teams from Alfred University and Alfred State College, continues on Wednesday, Sept. 10, when the Alfred University women's soccer team hosts Alfred State in a 7:30 p.m. contest at Yunevich Stadium.

The Alfred Cup-sponsored by The Power & Construction Group and ServU Federal Credit Union-is an annual competition between Alfred University and Alfred State College athletic teams. A points-based system that awards two points for a win, one for a tie, and no points for a loss will determine the inaugural Alfred Cup winner. The competition highlights the unique setting of two NCAA Division III schools located in the small, but fiercely competitive, village of Alfred.
