#9 UNH Stays Perfect, Moves to 9-0, Earns #AEMSOC Honors

BOSTON – There are only four men's soccer teams in the country that still have a perfect record and New Hampshire is one of them. The ninth-ranked Wildcats won twice last week, including a 4-1 win over Hartford in league play on Saturday, to improve to 9-0.

Elsewhere last weekend, Binghamton won its conference opener, 1-0 over Stony Brook while UMass Lowell downed UMBC and UAlbany beat Stony Brook.
 
Each team will play an eight-game schedule in the single round robin format. The top six teams in the conference standings based on points percentage will qualify for the 2021 America East men's soccer championship.

Four more conference games take place on Saturday.
    
Fans will once again be able to watch the majority of #AEMSOC this season. Select games will air on The AE on ESPN while others will air on AmericaEast.TV. Those games will be available on computers, OTT devices and the brand new America East app, which is available on all IOS and Android devices and can be found by searching ‘America East Conference’ in app stores.
