CAA Tournament Berth on the Line as Cougars Confront Dragons
10/31/2016 11:58:00 AM | Men's Soccer
CHARLESTON, S.C. – The College of Charleston men's soccer team (4-8-3; 2-3-2 vs. CAA) will play host to the Drexel Dragons (1-13-2; 0-7 vs. CAA) Tuesday night at 7 p.m. in a game that will make or break their season.
Â
The game was originally scheduled to be played October 7, but Hurricane Matthew forced the match to be moved to the end of regular season play.
Â
At eight points in the CAA standings, the Cougars find themselves in a very simple predicament. Win and they're in, lose or draw and they're out. A tournament berth would pit the Cougars against either the William & Mary Tribe (10-6-2; 3-3-2 vs. CAA) or the UNCW Seahawks (8-5-2; 3-2-2 vs. CAA). Either contest would be on the road.
Â
The Cougars come off a 2-1 win over Northeastern on their Senior Night game in which all three seniors who played for the College made their way on the stat sheet. Cesar Murillo finished off a free kick feed from Nicolas Jeausseran, while Nico Rittmeyer converted a cross from Adan Noel in the corner to put the Cougars up 2-0 at half. Brian Kilgallon was perfect in goal save for a Northeastern PK late in the contest.
Â
The Cougars have gone 1-1-1 against Drexel in their three seasons in the CAA, having won last year 1-0 on the road. Martin Sedari scored the lone goal in that game on a cross from Khalil Abderahman to give CofC the victory. Kevin Shields was perfect with a seven-save shutout.
Â
The Dragons have had a difficult season, having gone winless in conference play thus far. Since their lone win of the year, a 3-2 overtime win over Temple back in mid-September, the Dragons have lost 11-straight and have been outscored by opponents 25-2 over that span.
