CACC Men's Soccer Notes

Felician - Felician's 4-3 home loss to Holy Family on Saturday was the first time this season it had scored more than once in a game, and its first three-goal game since winning at HFU, 3-2, on Oct. 16, 2004. Also on Saturday, senior GK Nick Lyons made his first start since Sept. 15, 2005, against Dominican.

Post - Sophomore Eurica Trowers scored three times to help the Post men's soccer team win its first CACC match of the season, beating Chestnut Hill, 4-1 last Saturday at LaMoy Field.
