The Clive Charles Soccer Complex includes Merlo Field, a grass practice field and the all-weather Prusynski Field (Pru Pitch). The complex, named for the Pilots' legendary coach who led the women's team to its first national championship in 2002, was built around Merlo Field in 2007 to create a premier soccer venue.
Merlo Field, one of the premier soccer fields in the country, was dedicated in 1990. It is named for Harry A. Merlo, a benefactor and devotee of the Pilots’ soccer teams. The stadium seats 5,000 spectators, but the largest attendance ever recorded was 5,596 for a women’s soccer game vs. North Carolina on October 10, 1992. Merlo Field was the host of the women’s NCAA final four in 1994.
