Soccer Kick-Off
Navy has already won four games (in four tries). Lehigh has knocked off a Big XII team (Nebraska) and almost upset an ACC foe (Virginia Tech). Holy Cross is undefeated after easily handling UMass. After just one full weekend of play, only two teams are winless, and one of those (Lafayette) has yet to play a game thanks to that pesky Tropical Depression Danny.
The Leopards will get their first crack at victory tonight, when they host LaSalle. Lafayette is the only women’s team in action tonight, but there is a full slate of men’s games on the schedule. It is the first day of action for Patriot League men’s squads.
Like their female counterparts, the Lehigh men’s squad will open the season against a major-conference power. The Mountain Hawks will host Stanford tonight at the Ulrich Sports Complex. Also at home today are Colgate (4:00 vs. Long Island), Army (7:00 vs. NJIT), and Bucknell (7:00 vs. LaSalle).
The only Patriot League men’s soccer squad on the road this evening will be Lafayette. The Leopards will make the short drive to Philadelphia to battle LaSalle, so whether you are in Easton or Philadelphia, you have a chance to see a Leopards/Explorers match-up on the soccer pitch.
It is a big night for Patriot League soccer, but hopefully it is just the start of big things for PL teams this season.
