Men’s soccer (6-5-1, 4-3-1 NESCAC) dropped a tough conference game 1-0 at Tufts on Tuesday. The Cardinals are now tied with Bates for fifth place coming into the final NESCAC game of the season. Despite solid play from goalie Dan Penrod ’05 and several scoring chances for the Cardinal offense, the team was unable to get the better of the Jumbos.
Next the men host the Polar Bears of Bowdoin (9-4, 6-2 NESCAC) on Saturday at 11 a.m. for the regular season home finale, at which the seniors will be honored prior to the start. The Cardinals have already clinched a playoff birth in the NESCAC tournament, which starts on Sunday.
Although the playoff picture is complicated, a win on Saturday would not only give the team its fifth conference win, but allows for the opportunity of a home playoff game if league-leading Williams ties or defeats the Lord Jeffs at Amherst.
