Men's Soccer Fresh off their first victory, the Lions (1-1-2) take a three-game unbeaten streak across the river to Teaneck on Thursday night against FDU (3-2-2). Columbia took down Manhattan, 2-0, Monday night at Rocco B. Commisso Soccer Stadium. Junior Jack McDaid opened the scoring in the 11th minute and Columbia went on to fire off 23 shots, its most in a game since 2017. The Lions were rewarded again on their 23rd and final attempt, as first year Stepan Kapranov slotted home his first collegiate goal in the 89th minute to cap off the victory. Columbia's three-game unbeaten streak is its longest since 2018, when the Lions won five in a row late in the season. Meanwhile, FDU is coming off back-to-back losses against the BIG EAST's St John's (1-0) and Seton Hall (3-0). The Knights have played their last five games on the road and are returning home for the first time since August 24, where they are an unbeaten 1-0-1 so far this season.
