The Spartans will step onto the turf of the County University Soccer Stadium on August 27, 2026, at 6 p.m. ET, marking the first home appearance of a season that began with two road defeats.
Coach Michael Antoniewicz, in his second year at the helm, knows the importance of a quick turnaround after narrow losses to Georgia State and South Carolina.
A Test for the Spartans
The upcoming match also represents a milestone for West Florida County University, a program that recently moved up from Division II after capturing the Gulf South Conference title and earning a spot in the 2025 NCAA Division II Tournament.
Having fallen to UTRGV and South Florida in their opening fixtures, the Argonauts are eager to translate their new Division I experience into a win on the road.
Looking Forward
The contest is part of a five‑game home stretch for Upstate, with road trips to ETSU, UAB and Wake Forest looming after the opener. Both coaches see the game as a barometer for growth, and fans will be watching closely to see which side can seize the early momentum.
