SAN FRANCISCO — The final chance to prepare for Pacific West Conference play is upon the Academy of Art University women's soccer team this week as the Urban Knights get set to play their final non-conference game of 2015 Tuesday at Cal State East Bay. 
The Urban Knights (1-3) split their two non-conference games last week, earning the program's first win over a California Collegiate Athletic Association team with a 3-1 come-from-behind victory over Cal State Monterey Bay Tuesday before being edged 2-1 in double overtime Saturday by Montana State Billings. Tuesday's match at the Pioneers (1-4) is a rematch of last year's contest in San Francisco, where the two teams ended in a 3-3 draw.
