Men’s Soccer | The BU Zoo

Hey Zoo,

First off, you are all invited to a special taping of Pizza with Vaughan on Wednesday at 7 pm in the Events Center! Please wear your BU Zoo shirts! More details here

We had a great couple of weeks. Our women’s soccer team battled their way into the playoffs, and although they took a loss, they made us proud to be Bearcats after fighting to force penalty kicks. The men’s soccer team, meanwhile, clinched a playoff spot in the America East Tournament. We’ll keep you updated as their playoff game gets closer. The men’s basketball team won their preseason game, and are just two weeks away from their home opener. Women’s basketball opens their preseason on Friday at 7 pm at the Events Center. Finally, a big congratulations to the men’s cross country team for winning the America East Championship!

Let’s take a look back:

The Men’s Soccer team faces Army (1-1-1) at 7 PM tonight at the Bearcats Sports Complex. The men’s team comes off a split at the Duquesne Invitational that saw them defeated 3-2 by Duquesne on Friday and then victorious in a 2-0 shutout vs. Niagara on Sunday. The split keeps the Bearcats at an even record of 2-2-0 on the season.

-Sophomore forward Alex Varkatzas scored twice over the weekend and was named to the Duquesne Invitational all-tournament team. Currently, Varkatzas leads the team with four points thus far.

-Binghamton has accrued six goals in a matter of four games with four of their goals coming in the second half. Look for these trends to continue tonight for the offensively minded Bearcats.

-Attempting to stop the Bearcats will be Army goalkeeper Winston Boldt, who is coming off of two straight shutouts and was named the Patriot League’s Goalkeeper of the Week on Monday.

-Binghamton has only faced Army once before: back in 2012 when they defeated the Black Knights 2-1 in West Point.
