Columbia, MD - The fall season is beginning to wind down for the Howard Community College Dragons, and several sports are concluding their seasons this week in Dragon Country.

Six different HCC programs will be in action this week, with women's soccer and women's volleyball wrapping up their seasons. Men's basketball will also begin their 2026-27 campaign with their first preseason games of the season.

Soccer begins the week with a doubleheader against Allegany College of Maryland on Tuesday, October 13. Men's soccer will begin the afternoon against the 1-9-1 Trojans at 2:00 PM as they look to wrap up a top seed in the Region 20 playoffs. Women's soccer will follow at 4:00 PM with their final game of the season. The Dragons will honor their sophomore athletes and try to qualify for the upcoming Region 20 tournament against the 2-7-0 Trojans.

Thursday will see women's volleyball wrap up their home schedule against Patrick Henry College. The Dragons swept the Sentinels 3-0 during their first matchup on October 1, and are coming off a major win over Allegany in conference play.
