Busy Weekend for the 'Hounds

Women’s Soccer, Volleyball, Men’s Soccer, Basketball, and the Swimming and diving and Crew Teams will all be in action this weekend in upstate New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and our very own friendly confines of the Evergreen Campus.

Most notably, the Women’s Soccer team will participate in the 4-team MAAC Tournament held on the Siena University campus in Loudonville, NY. They are the top seed in the bracket and if they can pickup a pair of wins, they’ll be crowned champions and awarded with a trip to the NCAA tournament for the second year in a row.

Men’s Soccer moved up to #6 in the national rankings and will play Rider in Lawrenceville, NJ in their last contest of the regular season and with a win they will secure a perfect conference record of 9-0 and will have completed their first unbeaten season at 17-0-1 since 1986. They have already clinched the MAAC regular season conference championship and will have the #1 seed in the MAAC Tournament, which will be held in Poughkeepsie, NY on the campus of Marist College, November 14-16.

And for college basketball junkies, like myself, your first chance to see the Men’s Basketball Team will be tonight at Reitz Arena at 7pm for a scrimmage against DIII power Catholic University. It will be the first opportunity to see Coach Jimmy Patsos’ newest players including Providence transfer, Jamaal Barney, who is eligible after sitting out his residency year last season. Stay tuned, for a complete game wrap-up and season preview in the coming days.
