The Wright State men's soccer program has announced its 2012 spring schedule, which includes a home match with Ohio State on April 20.

The Raiders face the Buckeyes at Alumni Field on Friday, April 20, at 8:00 as the Friday Showcase Game for the Blue Chip Tournament that will take place that weekend throughout the area.  It will be OSU's first visit to Wright State since the 1998 season.

WSU will also host IUPUI, Northern Kentucky, Cedarville as part of the spring schedule, with the lone road match coming on Saturday, April 28 at Akron, a team that won the national title in 2010 and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 last season.

The Raiders wrap up the spring slate against the Dayton Dutch Lions on Tuesday, May 8.

After being picked last in the preseason Horizon League poll in 2011, the Raiders finished second in the standings and advanced to the league championship match before falling 1-0 to Loyola.  WSU went 11-7-2 for its first winning record since 2001.

In 2012, 10 starters return, including junior Bryce Rockwell-Ashton, who was named First Team All-Horizon League last season.  Also back are sophomores Craig Feehan, Justin Laird and Gustav Svensson, who were each selected to the All-Newcomer Team, with Feehan being chosen as the Newcomer of the Year.
