Men's Soccer Riding two straight victories,  the men's soccer team (3-6-4, 1-3-1 Ivy) plays another pivotal Ivy League match this Saturday at Brown (5-6-2, 1-3-1 Ivy). Both Columbia and Brown are tied for fifth in the league standings, just two points behind Dartmouth for the fourth and final qualifying spot to this year's Ivy League Tournament. The Lions enter the contest hot, having scored a combined eight goals in their last two matches. On Tuesday, they defeated Fordham, 5-1, behind Stepan Kapranov's team-leading fourth goal of the season, followed by the first collegiate goals for sophomore Peter Chang, senior Ryan Yang, sophomore Luke Zielinski and sophomore Will Carnoy. It was Columbia's most goal in a match since defeating Harvard, 6-1, in 2019. Speaking of Harvard, Columbia earned a 3-1 victory over the Crimson last Saturday at Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium. Senior Brandon Newman and sophomore Will Case scored their first collegiate goals, while Kapranov added the third. Case, who assisted Newman's goal, went on to be named Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in his collegiate career.
