For the first time ever, UMBC's annual Alumni Game will be held after dark at UMBC Soccer Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 7:00 pm Friday.

A new state-of-the-art lighting system was installed at the stadium last month, enabling the Retriever men and women to contest night games on the facility's Bermuda grass surface.

Any alumni interested in participating in the game, or for more information, feel free to contact assistant coach Anthony Adams.
