Binghamton University Men's Basketball Begins November 2nd

Is the Vestal Parkway a bit crowded this week? Well, that's because students of Binghamton University started the Fall 2026 semester today, Tuesday, August 18, 2026, and many live in off-campus housing, commuting to the campus in Vestal.

Fall Sports At BU Have Begun

The sports season has begun on campus as well, including the Binghamton Bearcats women's soccer team. The team opened their new season last Thursday, August 13th at home, as they defeated Lehigh, 3-0, followed by a shutout of Marist in an away game on Sunday, 2-0. The team will be back in action this Sunday, August 23rd at LeMoyne in Syracuse.

The Binghamton Bearcats women's soccer team won the America East regular season championship last year and were picked to finish second this season in a recently released coaches poll. The Bearcats return nine starters and six all-conference selections from last year's team.
