Title Night Delivers Big Win for Widener-Union Partnership
Widener and the celebrated wins across the board at Sunday鈥檚 match.
As the presenting partner for the team鈥檚 match against D.C. United, students, faculty, staff, and alumni packed into Subaru Park to cheer on the Union and its thriving partnership with the university.
Since becoming the official university of the Union in 2023, the Widener-Union collaboration has launched a series of opportunities for current and prospective students that support experiential learning across disciplines, community engagement, career-building through internships and co-ops, and more.
As a benefit of being a presenting partner, Widener was well-represented throughout the Chester stadium.
Members of the men鈥檚 soccer team engaged with fans, including many who donned Widener-Union scarves, while Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. strolled on the plaza. Chester and Melrose were among the Philly mascots greeting fans, tossing t-shirts, and celebrating alongside Phang, the Union鈥檚 mascot, for his birthday.
Pre-match festivities featured the ROTC Dauntless Battalion honor guard who presented colors for the national anthem. Men鈥檚 soccer Head Coach Ross Liberati and team captain Sean Fatiga, Widener鈥檚 all-time leading goal scorer who surpassed the 50-goal milestone earlier this year, were invited onto the field for the first kick.
