CHARLESTON, S.C. – The College of Charleston men's soccer program will be entering their 50^th anniversary season in August, celebrating the history of the program the weekend of September 6, head coach Keith Wiggans announced.
 
"The 50^th anniversary of College of Charleston Men's Soccer is an astonishing monument," said Wiggans. "There are alumni from every era coming to celebrate and it will be an incredible weekend.  All alumni will be recognized at the match against Jacksonville Friday night, followed by numerous activities on Saturday."
 
The weekend will kick off with the Charleston men's soccer team taking on Jacksonville Friday, September 6 at 7:00 p.m, with an alumni tailgate before kickoff.
 
Also during Friday's match, the program is proud to honor the late Aaron Olitsky, who played for College of Charleston coach Ralph Lundy and the Cougars from 1993 to 1996. Olitsky had the game-winning goals that sent the Cougars to the NCAA Tournament in 1994, 1995 and 1996.
 
 The following morning, the program will host an alumni match at Patriots Point Field 1 at 10:00 a.m. That evening, there will be a Banquet in the Practice Gym of TD Arena at 5:00 p.m. followed by a Captain's Reception at TBonz on Market Street.
 
"The players, coaches, athletic department, and campus have all helped this program reach 50 years," says Wiggans "There has been success on the field with conference championships, trips to the NCAA tournament, and individual honors from conference recognition all the way to All-Americans. All the success of this program is due to the lifelong relationships that have formed.  Everyone that have been a part of this program has seen that. This celebration of 50 years will be special because of all those relationships."
