With the Stags (11-4-2)(7-1-2) 3-0 win on Senior Night over Rider (11-4-2)(6-2-2) on Lessing Field, the Stags are the 2017 MAAC Men's Soccer Regular Season Champions. It is the program's first regular-season crown since the 2011 campaign. The three goals represented a season-high for the Stags as three different players put the ball into the net this evening.
"I think the performance was a culmination of the regular season," Head Coach Carl Rees said. "Tonight's effort in relation to attention to detail, intensity and mental strength was the best of the season so far. I sensed all week that we were ready for this game. We played a tough Rider team tonight and needed to put our best effort forward. The lads certainly did that tonight."
The 2017 MAAC Men's Soccer Championship has a new format this year. First Round games will take place on Sunday, November 5 and are hosted by the #3 and #4 seeds, Semifinal games are hosted by #1 and #2 seeds on Thursday, November 9, and the Championship game on Sunday, November 12 will be hosted by highest remaining seed.
