PRINCETON, N.J. -- Three Ivy League women’s soccer programs –Brown, Harvard and Princeton— will represent the Ivy League in the NCAA Women’s Soccer College Cup.

Two of the Ivies—Brown and Princeton— will play host during the first round as the Bears will host St. John’s (NY) and the Tigers will host the America East Champion Vermont.
 
Harvard will travel south to Winston-Salem, N.C. where they will face Wake Forest in the first round of College Cup play.
