Last Week Recap
Men's Soccer is coming off a solo match week that closed out their regular season play. The Golden Eagles faced #19 Madonna last week and were not up to the test as they fell 5-0 in the match. The Crusaders top goal scorer Jordy Lopez found the back of the net four times in the first half which ultimately put the game to bed early. Cornerstone finished their regular season with a record of 6-9-1 (5-7).
WHAC Tournament Outlook
The Golden Eagles finished in eighth place in the WHAC conference which means they will play the first-place finisher Madonna in a rematch from last week's final regular season match. Madonna led the WHAC conference all season as they finished 10-0-2 in conference play. The Golden Eagles will need to find some renewed strength in their back line if they wish to keep Madonna from finding the back of the net again in this matchup.
Scouting #19 Madonna
Madonna comes into the matchup against the Golden Eagles with an overall record of 13-1-4 (10-0-2) on the year, finishing in first place in the WHAC conference. The Crusaders have earned a #19 ranking in the NAIA and have only recorded one defeat on the season as they head into the postseason. Madonna is averaging 3.28 goals per-game and only allowing .56 goals per-game this season. Jordy Lopez leads the line for the Crusaders who has tallied 15 goals and five assists on the year. The Golden Eagles will need to bring the game to the Crusaders and quickly if they have any chance at ending Madonna's season on Tuesday night.
