A weekly look at what’s going on in the Centennial Conference:
Men’s Soccer
|
It’s not unusual for Muhlenberg, Gettysburg and Johns Hopkins to be at
the top of the CC standings, and that is the case already this season.
Every other
team in the league has at least two blemishes on its record. Gettysburg
scored a big non-CC win during the week, toppling defending national
champion Messiah, 1-0. In CC games this week, Hopkins hosts Haverford,
Muhlenberg hosts Swarthmore and Gettysburg travels to F&M. Key regional
matchups are the Mules at Elizabethtown and Arcadia at Hopkins.
