Saints Men's Soccer earn at-large bid to NCAA Tournament; travel to Franklin & Marshall

Posted

The St. Lawrence men's soccer team will be making its seventh straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament after earning an at-large bid on Monday afternoon. It will be the 21st appearance in program history for the Scarlet and Brown.

The Saints, who finished the regular season 11-4, will travel to Franklin & Marshall in Lancaster, Pa. to take on Washington & Lee in the first round game on Saturday afternoon, while the host Diplomats will face Geneva. Game times will be determined later this week.

The team was 7-0 against non-conference opponents and 4-4 in Liberty League play this season and was led by sophomore Tapshak Augustine's 12 points on five goals and two assists. Senior Noah Bunton also finished the regular season in double digits in points with 10 on four goals and two assists, with three of his four goals coming via penalty kick. Twelve of the current Saints have experience in the NCAA Tournament, as the Saints advanced to the Sweet 16 a year ago.

The Saints' first-round opponent, Washington & Lee, enters the tournament with a 15-4-1 overall record and advanced to the final of the ODAC Championship before falling to Lynchburg, 2-1. Dylan Ritch leads the Generals' with 30 points on 12 goals and six assists, while four others have 10 or more points this season.
