"We are looking forward to our return to Orlando," Head Coach Carl Rees said. "It's a place where we have enjoyed success in the past. It is a unique opportunity to take the squad away for five or six days and commit ourselves to winning a championship. The team is peaking at the right time with the two wins at the end of the season. The quality of playing surface lends itself to fast ball movement and suits our playing style in attack."...

Stag Men's Soccer has been in the MAAC Championship Game 12 times and has won 4 times (2011, 2008, 2006, 1999).
