WARNER - Connors State College and Hilldale Public Schools have agreed to a deal that will see the Connors State soccer programs play home games at Hilldale Hornet Stadium beginning with the 2025 season.

Connors State soccer spent the first two years playing on Bacone College's former game field at Love-Hatbox Soccer Complex in Muskogee. The new deal will see the Cowboys and Cowgirls play home games on Hilldale's state-of-the-art turf surface, and the stadium around the field will provide fans with an upgraded game day experience.

Head coach Adam Skolnick said, "I am very excited for the next chapter in the Connor's State College soccer books and Hilldale High School's turf stadium is the perfect place to call home for that chapter. As our teams continue to grow it was important to me to give the student athletes a top tier game field so that we could take pride in the work that we do and have a proper stage to show it. Hilldale has done an incredible job with their turf stadium and given the area one of the best turf fields around."

Additionally, the lights at Hilldale Hornet Stadium will allow Connors State to host night games for the first time, allowing the teams to avoid kicking off games during the hottest part of the day and giving more fans a chance to attend matches by not having them during the workday.

"I can't thank the Hilldale staff enough for welcoming us with open arms. My hope is that this move will bring more people from the community to our matches to interact with our students from all around the world. To show our appreciation to the community, matches will have no entrance fees and we will work with the community to provide opportunities for kids to interact with our players and be involved in our game day," Skolnick said

Connors State's first home games at Hilldale Hornet Stadium will be a Region 2 doubleheader against NOC-Enid. Kick-off times for the upcoming season are being confirmed with Hilldale and the opposing teams, and will be posted on our website closer to the start of the season.
