Men’s Soccer

The CCSU Men’s Soccer team had a season for the record books. After starting the season with a dismal 3-8-1, the Blue Devils were on the edge of playoff elimination. They needed to go undefeated for the rest of the season just to have a chance at the NEC Tournament. It was a daunting challenge, but the young squad pulled together and went on a historic run. They traveled to New Jersey to the home of the regular season NEC Champions, the Monmouth Hawks. The Hawks had not been defeated in a conference game since 2004—a streak of 24 games—until the Blue Devils had defeated them in their regular season match-up. CCSU ran into the Hawks again in the championship, where they continued their undefeated play, knocking off the Hawks in round one before defeating St. Francis (PA) in the championship.
