turf surface will ensure that the home games are a spectacle in 2008. "
The Crusaders will compete in
The PDL's New England Division of the Eastern
Conference in 2008. Opponents include Rhode Island Stingrays, Ottawa Fury,
Vermont Voltage and recent expansion team New Hampshire Phantons.
"Rhode Island,
Ottawa and Vermont are all very good sides and we look forward to facing them
again in 2008," said Baber. "New Hampshire is a side we are
unfamiliar with as they have just dropped down from the USL 2nd Division.
It will be interesting to see the transition in this side."

fixtures are a fantastic spectacle for families to attend," said Baber.
"We are extremely lucky that this year we will host a double header fixture at
both Whitman-Hanson and Bowditch Stadium. These events give fans the
opportunity to see the nation's finest men's and women's collegiate talent in
one evening."
