NEW YORK -- The Columbia University men's soccer team will continue its six-match home stand with a Wednesday matinee against Bryant University at Columbia Soccer Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m., and admission to the contest is free.
LAST TIME OUT
The Columbia University men's soccer team dropped a 1-0 decision to No. 14 Boston University on Sunday afternoon at Columbia Soccer Stadium. The Lions played evenly with the nationally-ranked Terriers for much of the game and matched them in shots at 11, but BU claimed the game's only goal on an own goal scored by Columbia in the 26th minute.
SERIES HISTORY
This will mark the first men's soccer match between the two schools.
SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS
Bryant enters the match on Wednesday with a 2-4 record, and most recently dropped a tough 1-0 decision to No. 25 Brown last Tuesday. The Bulldogs made the leap from the Division II ranks last season and have already doubled their win total from a year ago. The team has allowed just seven goals over the first six matches of the season and have recorded a pair of shutout victories over Holy Cross (1-0) and Army (3-0). Goalkeeper Matt Miscione has played all but 10 minutes of the season in net and is averaging 6.5 saves per game.
