It has been a bit of an up and down season so far. We are currently 6-6 overall, but are 2-1 in CAC play.
We really tried to test the boys early this year with our non-conference schedule. We lost games to Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon, Kenyon, Lycoming, and Catholic during the early part of the season.
Kenyon was ranked as high as #2 in the nation, CMU is #17 in the nation, and both Lycoming and Hopkins are regionally ranked in the Mid-Atlantic region. We were in every game and were even up 2-1 on Kenyon, but couldn't hold on and lost 3-2.
We knew it was going to be a tough schedule, but we needed the competition to prepare for conference play. So far it has paid off with a strong 5-0 performance against Wesley and a solid 1-0 victory over St. Mary's, who came into the game 7-1-1 and ranked regionally.
We had a setback on Wednesday night when we dropped a 3-1 decision to Mary Washington. We actually played pretty well and were fairly even in shots 12-11, but made some costly mistakes that Mary Wash capitalized on each time. The Eagles are currently 7-2 and also ranked regionally in the South Atlantic.
Things do not get any easier as we prepare for Christopher Newport on Saturday at 7pm. The Captains come in with a record of 10-2 (3-0 CAC) and ranked #18 in the nation by D3soccer.com.

Wow what a tough non conference schedule. That loss to mary washington is very tough I know they have a Frostburg Alum Jason Kilby as the coach for Mary Washington. But keep up the good work I'm sure you guys will play great in the conference part of the schedule. Keep up the good work coach #burgsoccer
