New for the 2011-2012 seasons, the America East Daily Word, a collaboration between AmericaEast.com and AExtra, will recap the previous day's games and on going on our nine campuses and provide links to recaps, previews, features and exclusive coverage.
There
were no games on the schedule last night but we’ve got three men’s soccer
matches tonight to start the week off. We’ll
take you through them, one by one…
First,
Binghamton tries to right the ship when it travels to Syracuse to face the
Orange. The Bearcats lost a homecoming
heartbreaker to Adelphi over the weekend in front of over 2,000 fans. Jake Keegan leads Binghamton in scoring with
four goals this season but the Bearcats have lost four of five since winning
two of their first three to start the season.
Binghamton holds the all-time series lead winning four of six, but both
of the losses have come in Syracuse.
UMBC
broke a three-game winless streak when it defeated Longwood over the weekend
and tonight the Retrievers head to Philadelphia for a non-conference bout with
La Salle. UMBC is ranked 10th
in the Northeast region (tied for that spot with Vermont) and holds a 6-1-0
all-time series advantage over the Explorers.
Capping
the night off is an in-state matchup between the Hartford Hawks and Sacred Heart
Pioneers. Harford currently sits near
the bottom of the America East standings with conference play opening this
weekend but the Hawks have won six of the eight all-time meetings against
Sacred Heart. Tom Poitras and company
are coming off a 1-1 draw with Marist and six different players have scored
this season.
