On Tuesday night the boys finished up the regular season with a 3-1 victory over Goucher College. We end the regular season with only one loss on the year for an impressive 12-1-4 record.
With the playoff picture already set and having a non-conference game to end the season we went into the game with a winning mindset, but also wanted to play a lot of guys and keep some other guys healthy. Junior Drew Hock got his first collegiate start in goal and Andrew Adami and Collin Sainz also picked up their first starts on the season.
Ryan Russell scored his team leading 14th goal of the season just five minutes into the game after he juked a player in the corner of the box and powered a shot past the keeper into the left corner of the goal. Alex Brainard followed up his first collegiate goal last game with a great volley in the box off of a Ryan Russell cross. Just when the game seem secured we would suffer an own goal and let Goucher back into the game at 2-1.
Junior Kunle Akinfeleye scored his first collegiate goal midway through the second half when he followed up his own miss and buried the rebound into the side netting. Every healthy player got in the game and we were able to sit four players who will hopefully be near full strength come our playoff game next Wednesday.
Sunday afternooon York College will face off agaisnt St. Mary's College to determine our semi-final matchup on Wednesday. Game time is still TBA at this point. We finished the regular season ranked 4th in the South Atlantic Region by the NSCAA and Junior Chris Jones picked up Defender of the Week honors for the CAC last week.
